Worksheet #1 / Dental Materials / Semester I (2011/2012)

1. Give a brief physical description of stress, and strain, including relevant equations and units. 2. Draw a typical stress strain curve for a metal specimen that underwent tensile loading until fracture. Label and describe the different stages of deformation. 3. Define each of the following terms. Also describe how you can determine each of them from a stress-strain graph: (include diagrams if useful) a) Youngs Modulus b) .2% Yield Stress ( and why is it an important property) c) Ultimate Tensile Stress d) Fracture Stress e) Elastic limit 4. The following data were obtained from a tensile test on a specimen of an aluminum alloy.

Using the data above: Plot the stress strain diagram and Determine the 0.2% yield strength. Young's modulus of elasticity for the specimen.

5. Is it possible for a stiff material with a high modulus of elasticity to fail with no plastic deformation and a lower strength than a more flexible material? Explain your answer. 8. What's the difference between these two objects? Explain and give an example for each

6. Please label the following stress strain diagram.

. 6. Describe the following curves in the terms of strength, toughness, ductility.
