Greater

*Creep* will occur to a _______________(Lesser/Greater) *Extent* at *Higher Temperatures* because it is *Easier* for atoms to *Move Around* (Vacancies, Diffusion, Thermal Vibration, etc.).

Crack(s)

*Fatigue Failure* occurs because, over *Repeated Stress Cycles*, ____________ within the material will *Grow* and, eventually, may create a *Concentrated Load* that is *Greater than Yield* even with an *Applied Load* which is *Less Than Yield*.

Lowers

*Grain Growth* _______________(Raises/Lowers) the *Energy* in the material.

Surface

*Grinding*, *Polishing*, and *Surface Coating* can all *Increase* the *Fatigue Life* by reducing the number of *Cracks* along the material's __________________, which is usually where most *Fatal Cracks* form.

T(rue)

*True/False*: *Creep* can happen at *Stresses Below Yield*.

T(rue)

*True/False*: *Fatigue Failure* will offer *No Signs* of *Failure* beforehand.

fatigue process

1) crack initiation 2) slip-band crack growth (deepening of initial crack on high shear stress STAGE 1) 2) crack growth on planes of high tensile stress (growth of well defined crack in direction normal to max tensile stress STAGE 2) 4) ultimate ductile failure (crack reaches sufficient length so remaining cross section can't support load)

3 causes of fatigue failure

1) max tensile stress of high val 2) large fluctuation in applied stress 3) large number of cycles of applied stress

Fatigue (Failure)

A type of *Failure* which occurs with *Repeated Cycles* of *Stress* that may be *Lower* than *Yield*.

A cup-and-cone fracture is formed when a ductile metal is loaded in tension until failure

Cup and cone fracture

High

For *Most Materials*, *Creep* is only an issue at __________(Low/High) *Temperatures*.

Increases

If the *Applied Stress* _______________(Increases/Decreases), the *Fatigue Life* will *Decrease*.

Nf=

Ni + Nfcg

Secondary

The *Creep Rate* is determined by the _______________ *Stage* of a *Creep Test*.

Fatigue Strength

The *Maximum Stress* without *Failure* at a *Given Number* of *Cycles*.

Final (Stage)

The *Stage* of *Creep Failure* marked by *Crack Formation* and *Propagation* up to *Fracture*.

Primary (Stage)

The *Stage* of *Creep Failure* where the *Rate* of *Strain Slows Down*, and the material experiences *Strain Hardening*.

Secondary (Stage)

The *Stage* of *Creep Failure* where the *Strain Rate* is *Constant* and the system has achieved a *Balance* between *Strain Hardening* and *Recovery*.

Fatigue Limit

The *Stress* below which an *Infinite* number of *Cycles* can be applied without *Fatigue Failure*. This is a result of the Stress vs Cycle curve *Flattening Out*. (AKA Endurance Limit).

Creep

The *Time Dependent Permanent Deformation* of a material that occurs under *Constant Stress*.

Fatigue Life

The number of *Cycles* a material will endure at a *Given Stress* before *Fatigue Failure*.

Grain Boundary Slide

The process by which *Grain Boundaries*, under *Constant Stress* and *High Temperatures*, become *Weak* and start to *Slide* against each other. This leads to *Plastic Deformation*.

Grain Growth

The process by which *Larger Grains* will *Absorb Smaller Grains*.

Shot Peening

The process of *Shooting Particles* at the *Surface* of a material which causes *Plastic Deformation* and induces a *Compressive Stress * on any *Surface Cracks*. (AKA Sand Blasting).

Increase

To avoid *Creep* you should ________________(Increase/Decrease) the *Grain Size* to avoid *Grain Boundary Slip*, but you would normally want to do the opposite to strengthen the material.

Brittle and Ductile

Two types of Fracture modes

Fatigue and Creep

Types of process that produce fractures

Introducing

________________(Introducing/Removing) *Point Defects* and *Impurities* will *Strengthen* the *Material* by increasing the *Elastic Strain Energy* around the imperfection.

Inhibiting

__________________(Inhibiting/Encouraging) *Dislocation Movement* will *Strengthen* the *Material*.

ductile fracture

a mode of fracture that is attended by extensive gross plastic deformation; slow crack propagation

creep

a time dependent, permanent deformation at high temperatures, occurring at constant load or constant stress

unsafe

tension-torsion

applies torsional movement on material to determine strength in torsion and tension ( catheter tubing)

3 types of applied stress

axial (tension-compression), flexural (bending), torsional (twisting)

types of fatigue experiments

bend tension-torsion fatigue crack growth compression

finer grain size

better S-N fatigue resistance

coarse grain

elastic deformation

2 types of fracture

ductile or brittle

smooth region of fracture surface

due to rubbing action as crack propagates

how can striations be missed?

due to small spacing which can't be resolved or lack of ductility at crack tip to produce a ripple by plastic deformation

rough region of fracture surface
