"Shear Modulus of Elasticity (Modulus of Rigidity) - CORRECT ANSWER 1. A large
shear modulus value indicates a solid is highly rigid. In other words, a large force is
required to produce deformation.
2. A small shear modulus value indicates a solid is soft or flexible. Little force is needed
to deform it.
3. One definition of a fluid is a substance with a shear modulus of zero. Any force
deforms its surface."
"Creep - CORRECT ANSWER A time-dependent deformation under a certain applied
load."
"Rate of Creep - CORRECT ANSWER Both stress and/or temperature play an
important role in this rate."
"Creep Strength or Rupture Stress - CORRECT ANSWER The highest stress the
material can withstand during a specified time without exceeding an allowable creep
strain."
"Fatigue - CORRECT ANSWER When a metal is subjected to repeated cycles of stress
or strain, it causes its structure to break down, ultimately leading to fracture."
"Endurance/Fatigue Limit - CORRECT ANSWER Maximum force (stress) to which a
material can be subjected in a cycle without failing, regardless of the number of cycles"
"Chapter 4: Axial Loads - CORRECT ANSWER Chapter 4: Axial Loads"
"Live Loads - CORRECT ANSWER Those loads produced by the use and occupancy
of the building or other structure and do not include construction or environmental loads
such as wind load, snow load, rain load, earthquake load, flood load or dead load."
"Nominal Strength of a Member - CORRECT ANSWER The load when applied to the
member, causes it either to fail (ultimate load), or deform to a state where it is no longer
serviceable or becomes unsuitable for its intended purpose."
"Chapter 2: Strain - CORRECT ANSWER Chapter 2: Strain"
, "Deformation - CORRECT ANSWER The changes to a body's shape and size due to
an applied force."
"Normal Strain - CORRECT ANSWER The change in length of a line per unit length."
"Shear Strain - CORRECT ANSWER The change in angle that occurs between two
perpendicular line segments."
"Chapter 3: Mechanical Properties of Materials - CORRECT ANSWER Chapter 3:
Mechanical Properties of Materials"
"Extensometer - CORRECT ANSWER An instrument to measure change in length of a
tensile specimen, thus allowing calculation of strain."
"Electrical-Resistance Strain Gauge - CORRECT ANSWER A resistance element
which changes resistance when subject to strain."
"Stress-Strain Diagram - CORRECT ANSWER A graphic representation of the
relationship between unit stress values and the corresponding unit strains for a specific
material."
"Nominal or Engineering Stress - CORRECT ANSWER Applied Load divided by the
Original Cross-Sectional Area.
This calculation assumes that the stress is constant over the cross section and
throughout the gauge length."
"Nominal or Engineering Strain - CORRECT ANSWER Specimen's new gauge length
divided by the Original gauge length."
"Convention Stress-Strain Diagram - CORRECT ANSWER When the vertical axis is
Stress and the horizontal axis is Strain."
"Elastic Behavior - CORRECT ANSWER returns to original shape"
"Yielding - CORRECT ANSWER A slight increase in stress above the elastic limit will
result in a breakdown of the material and cause it to deform permanently."
"Yield Stress or Yield Point - CORRECT ANSWER The stress that causes yielding."
"Plastic Deformation - CORRECT ANSWER The deformation that occurs during
yielding."
"Perfectly Plastic - CORRECT ANSWER Property of a material to undergo irreversible
deformation without any increase in stresses or loads."
