FE Mechanical Exam Prepared by Brian for a A+
grade 2025-2026
Elastic Limit
The limit which the material no longer retains its original shape when
the load is removed
Yield Point
The point which represents the limit of elastic behavior
Ultimate Strength
Also known as the tensile strength, it is the maximum y coordinate in a
stress-strain diagram
Rupture Strength
Strength of a material at rupture
Ferrous Materials
High tensile strength and durability.
True or False: Ferrous materials are magnetic
True
True or False: Ferrous materials are lighter than non-ferrous typically
False
True or False: Both Ferrous and Non-ferrous metals are recyclable
True
True or False: Non Ferrous materials are higher in cost
, True
List examples of ferrous material
Steel, Cast and Wrought Iron
Non-Ferrous Materials
Malleable and lighter than ferrous materials. Examples include
aluminum, copper, lead.
Composites
Made by combining two or more different types of materials for
achieving specific properties
Alloys
Materials formed by the combination of two or more different metals
Ceramics
These are inorganic, non-metallic materials and are typically hard, have
high melting point and are design to withstand large forces by exhibiting
high strength
Polymers
Large molecules of repeating sub-units design to obtain desired
properties like flexibility, strength and heat resistance
Smart Materials
Materials which change in response to their surroundings, such as light
levels or temperature.
