UNIT 5.2: Materials Testing
Preface
Material Testing is a critical process that determines whether a product is reliable, safe, and predictable in function. Material testing is basically divided into two major categories: destructive testing and nondestructive testing. Destructive testing is defined as a process where a material is subjected to a load in a manner that will ultimately cause the material to fail. Machines have been developed specifically to conduct destructive testing. These machines exert force on the sample and record information such as resulting deformation, the amount of stress that builds up inside the sample, elastic behavior, strength, etc. When non-destructive testing is performed on a material, the part is not permanently affected by the test. The part is usually still serviceable. The purpose of non-destructive testing is to determine whether the material contains imperfections.
Over many years, tests have been developed for measuring the common properties of engineering materials, including acoustical, electrical, magnetic, physical, optical, and thermal properties. But why is material testing so significant?
Concepts
1. Engineers utilize a design process and mathematical formulas to solve and document
design problems.
2. Material testing aids in determining a product’s reliability, safety, and predictability in
function.
3. Engineers perform destructive and non-destructive tests on material specimens for the
purpose of identifying and verifying the properties of various materials.
4. Material testing provides a reproducible evaluation of material properties.
5. Tensile testing data is used to create a test sample stress strain curve.
6. Stress strain data points are used to identify and calculate sample material properties
including elastic range, proportional limit, modulus of elasticity, elastic limit, resilience, yield point, plastic deformation, ultimate strength, failure, and ductility.

Lesson 5.2.1: Engineering Calculations
Purpose
Engineers are technical problem solvers. The way in which engineers solve problems varies. In general engineers implement a logical approach, or method, in solving the problems that they encounter. The purpose of this activity is to refresh yourself with the important steps to effective problem solving and to apply those steps to questions related to problems involving the variables related to certain types of materials testing.
Procedure
Important Definitions: Stress: The term stress (s) is used to express the loading in terms of force applied to a certain cross-
sectional area of an object. From the perspective of loading, stress is the applied force or system of forces
that tends to deform a body. From the perspective of what is happening within a material, stress is the
internal distribution of forces within a body that balance and react to the loads applied to it. A bar loaded
in pure tension will essentially have a uniform tensile stress distribution.
Source: http://www.ndt-ed.org/EducationResources/CommunityCollege/Materials/Mechanical/StressStrain.htm
Strain: Strain is the response of a system to an applied stress. When a material is loaded with a force,
it produces a stress, which then causes a material to deform. Engineering strain is defined as the amount
of deformation in the direction of the applied force divided by the initial length of the material. This
results in a unitless number, such as inches per inch or meters per meter. For example, the strain in a bar
that is being stretched in tension is the amount of elongation or change in length divided by its original
length.
If the stress is small, the material may only strain a small amount and the material will return to its
original size after the stress is released. This is called elastic deformation. Like a rubber band, it returns
to its unstressed state. Elastic deformation only occurs in a material when stresses are lower than a
critical stress called the yield strength. If a material is loaded beyond it elastic limit, the material will
remain in a deformed condition after the load is removed. This is called plastic deformation.

Axial stress is symbolized by the Greek letter sigma (). Axial stress is defined as the force perpendicular to the cross-sectional area of the member divided by the cross-sectional area.
Shear stress is symbolized by the Greek letter Tau (). It is defined as the force parallel to the cross-sectional area of the member divided by the cross-sectional area. Strain is the ratio of the change in length of an object (its elongation) as a result of an applied stress to the original length of the object. If we assume a homogenous material with uniform
cross section, the normal strain (epsilon) is defined as the elongation per unit length. Elastic region is the region of stress that is directly proportional to the strain. The slope of the straight line fitted through two points is called the modulus of elasticity. The point at which the elastic region ends is called the elastic limit. The elastic limit is the point at which permanent deformation occurs. If the force is taken off of the sample, the sample will not return to its original size and shape. The proportional limit is the point at which the deformation is no longer directly proportional to the applied force. Hooke’s law does not apply anymore and the graph becomes parabolic in nature. At the yield point, considerable elongation of the test specimen occurs with no increase in loading. Beyond this theoretical point, the material becomes perfectly plastic since it deforms without an increase in stress. Strain hardening of the material occurs after the yield point is passed and the material undergoes change that causes it to actually become harder. At the maximum stress, called the ultimate stress, any further stretching would lead to fracture and the failure point where the sample fails. Hooke’s Law – Robert Hooke stated in 1676 that “There is a linear relationship between stress and strain for a bar in simple tension or compression.” This relationship is expressed by the equation:
= E
Symbols – is the axial stress, is the axial strain, and E is the constant of proportionality. This constant is called the modulus of elasticity. E is often referred to as Young’s modulus, after the scientist Thomas Young (1773-1829) who introduced the idea of the modulus of elasticity. Prismatic Bars – A prismatic bar is defined as a structural member having a straight longitudinal axis and constant cross section throughout its length. Elongation caused by a tensile load F on a prismatic bar, assuming linear elasticity, can be calculated using Hooke’s
law (= E ). By combining the formulas for stress ( = F/A ) and strain ( = /L), we can
determine deformation ( = FL/EA).

Five Step Problem-Solving Method
STEP1-Organize the information provided in the problem statement: Begin by drawing a picture. Identify knowns (what you’re given) and unknowns (what you want to find out). Assign variable names to the knowns and unknowns and specify each using the correct number and unit name.
STEP2-Derive a set of equations (or find a set of formulas) that relate your knowns to your unknowns. You will know that you have a sufficient number of equations/formulas when the number of unknowns is equal to the number of equations/formulas.
STEP3-Manipulate the equations/formulas using algebraic principles, if necessary.
STEP4-Substitute numbers and units into the equations/formulas using “railroad tracks” and solve. Write your answer in terms of the variable name that you chose previously. Be sure to specify not only the numeric answer but the units as well.
STEP5-Check the reasonableness of your answer and your units. Convert units using “railroad tracks” if necessary.
