Review
1.1 In your own words, what are two differences between product testing and
material testing?
Possible answers include: (a) The goal of the two procedures is different. Whereas
product testing is design to determine the lifetime of a component under
conditions that mimic real- world use, material testing is intended to extract
fundamental material properties that are independent of the material’s use. (b)
The specimen shape is different. Product testing must use the material in the shape
in which it will be used in the real product. Material testing uses idealized specimen
shapes designed to unambiguously determine one or more properties of the
material with the simplest analysis possible.
1.2 What are the distinguishing differences between elasticity, plasticity, and fracture?
Elasticity involves only deformation that is fully reversible when the applied load is
removed (even if it takes time to occur). Plasticity is permanent shape change
without cracking, even when no load exists. Fracture inherently involves breaking
of bonds and the creation of new surfaces. Often two or more of these processes
take place simultaneously, but the contribution of each can be separated from the
others.

and true strain for loading along a single axis.
