elongated state before RUPTURE takes place.

 Stress measures the force required to deform or break a
material
s = F/A
 Strain measures the elongation for a given load
e = (L-Lo)/Lo

before it breaks.
A: Bend
B: Stretch or elongate
C: Be forged
D: Be indented
Features of Brittle material
Grey cast iron (example)
A specified amount of stress applied
to produce desired strain
 A brittle material is one
with a low % of elongation
before failure
 Brittleness increases with
pressure
 ≤ 5 % elongation
Dislocations/defects/imperfections could be the probable reasons

Destructive testing
(i)Tensile strength (Alloy steel ; 60-80 kg/mm2)
 provides ultimate strength of a material
 maximum withstandable stress before
breakage
 just an indication of instability regime
 provides the basic design information to the
test of engineers

Destructive testing
(ii) Hardness factor
 Ability of a material to resist before
being permanently damaged
 Direct consequences of atomic forces
exist on the surface
 This property is not a fundamental
property (like domain boundary)
 Measure of macro/micro & nano-
hardness factors provide the
detailed analyses

Destructive testing
• Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers hardness tests;
to determine hardness of metallic materials to check quality
level of products, for uniformity of sample of metals, for
uniformity of results of heat treatment.
 Knoop Test;
relative micro hardness of a material
 Rock well hardness;
a measure of depth of penetration
 Shore scleroscope ;
in terms of the elasticity of
the material.

Vickers hardness tests
Microhardness test involves
using a diamond indenter to
make a microindentation into
the surface of the test material,
the indentation is measured
optically and converted to a
hardness value
Metalography; viewing of samples
through high powerful microscopes
HV = 1.854(F/D2);
F is the force applied,
d2 is the area of the indentation

 The _______ type hardness test leaves the least
amount of damage on the metals surface.
A: Rockwell
B: Brinell
C: Scleroscope
D: Microhardness
Destructive testing
Try to pull it --
tensile strength
Try to compress it --
compressional strength
Try to bend (or flex) it --
flexural strength
Try to twist it --
torsional strength
Affected by the rate of
loading, temperature
variation in heat treatment,
alloy content
Try to hit it sharply and impact strength
suddenly
-(as with a hammer)
Impact Strength
The ability of a material to
withstand shock loading

Destructive testing
(i)Fatigue
 Fatigue is the name given to failure
in response to alternating loads (as
opposed to monotonic straining
 expressed in terms of numbers of
cycles to failure (S-N)
 Occurs in metals and polymers but
rarely in ceramics.
 Also an issue for “static” parts, e.g.
bridges.

Destructive testing
(i)Fatigue
 Repeated/cyclic stress applied to a material
 An important mode of a failure/disaster
 Loss of strength/ductility
 Increased uncertainty in service

Factors affecting Fatigue
What causes fatigue?
Fatigue is different for every person. Here are some
causes of fatigue:
Chemotherapy/Pain
Sleep problems/Radiation
Certain medicines/Lack of exercise
Surgery/Not drinking enough fluids
Not being able to get out of bed/Nausea
Eating problems

 Residual stresses

Creep
property of a material by virtue of which it
deforms continuously under a steady load
Adopts this kind
of relationship
slow plastic deformation (slip) of material
occurs at high temperatures.
Iron, nickel, copper and their alloys
exhibited this property at elevated
temperature.

increase in length
Different stages of creep
 1) Primary creep is a period of transient
creep. The creep resistance of the
material increases due to material
deformation. Predominate at low
temperature test such as in the creep
of lead at RT.
 2) Secondary creep provides a nearly
constant creep rate. The average value
of the creep rate during this period is
called the minimum creep rate.
 Logarithmic Creep (low temp)
 Recovery Creep (high temp)
 Diffusion Creep (very high
temperatures)
July 18, 2015
 3) Tertiary creep shows a rapid increase
in the creep rate due to effectively
reduced cross-sectional area of the
specimen

Grain boundaries
Atomic diffusion

Fracture; a disaster occurs after the application of load,
Local separation of regions
Origin of the fracture (in two stages):
 initial formation of crack and
 spreading of crack
Types of Fracture
 Brittle Fracture
 Ductile Fracture
 Fatigue Fracture
 Creep Fracture

Fracture
Depending on the ability of material to undergo
plastic deformation before the fracture two
fracture modes can be defined - ductile or brittle
• Ductile fracture - most metals (not too cold):
Extensive plastic deformation ahead of
crack
Crack is “stable”: resists further extension
unless applied stress is increased
• Brittle fracture - ceramics, ice, cold metals:
Relatively little plastic deformation
Crack is “unstable”: propagates rapidly
without increase in applied stress
Ductile fracture is preferred in most applications

Equation governing fracture
mechanisms
s =
2E
e
Where,
 e is half of the crack length,
  is the true surface energy
 E is the Young's modulus.
 the stress is inversely proportional to the square root of the
crack length.
 Hence the tensile strength of a completely brittle material
is determined by the length of the largest crack existing
before loading.
 For ductile materials (additional energy term p involved,
because of plastic deformations

 Surface energy increases as temperature decreases.
 The yield stress curve shows the strong temperature
dependence
