2 Chapter 7 Plastic Deformation, Ductility and Toughness

3 Issues to address Stress and strain: What are they and why are they used instead of load and deformation? Elastic behavior: When loads are small, how much deformation occurs? What materials deform least? Plastic behavior: At what point do dislocations cause permanent deformation? What materials are most resistant to permanent deformation? Toughness and ductility: What are they and how do we measure them? Ceramic Materials: What special provisions/tests are made for ceramic materials?

17 Elastic Deformation_1 Slope of stress strain plot (which is proportional to the elastic modulus) depends on bond strength of metal

18 Elastic Deformation_2 The stress is linearly proportional to strain σ = Eε The slope of curve : Modulus of elasticity Young's modulus ( Typical metals ~ 10 9 psi ) (1) Deformation is recoverable. (2) Deformation is linear. ( Hooke's law ) (3) Modulus determined by atomic bonding. (atom type and crystal structure) τ = Gγ ( G : shear modulus )

25 Anelasticity - Time dependent elastic deformation - Elastic deformation continue after the stress application, and finite time is required for complete recovery after unloading. - Viscoelastic behavior of polymers, mud.

46 Design or Safety Factors Design uncertainties mean we do not push the limit. Factor of safety, N Often N is σ y between 1.2 and 4 σ working = N Example: Calculate a diameter, d, to ensure that yield does not occur in the 1045 carbon steel rod below. Use a factor of safety of 5. d σ 220,000N ( 2 π d / 4) working 5 = σ y N d = m = 6.7 cm 1045 plain carbon steel: = 310 MPa TS = 565 MPa F = 220,000N L o

47 Summary Stress and strain: These are size-independent measures of load and displacement, respectively. Elastic behavior: This reversible behavior often shows a linear relation between stress and strain. To minimize deformation, select a material with a large elastic modulus (E or G). Plastic behavior: This permanent deformation behavior occurs when the tensile (or compressive) uniaxial stress reaches sy. Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit volume of material. Ductility: The plastic strain at failure.
