Strength and Stiffness

Stress is applied to a material by loading it

Strain – a change of shape – is its response

Stiffness is the resistance to change of shape that is elastic – the material will return to its original shape when unloaded

Strength is the resistance to permanent distortion or total failure

2

2

Material Properties

Stress and strain are not material properties – they

describe a stimulus and a response

Stiffness and strength are material properties which are

measured by the elastic modulus (E), elastic

limit (σy), and tensile strength (σts)

Stiffness, strength, and density are three material

properties central to mechanical design

Density

Modes of Loading

(a) – axial tension

(b) – compression

(c) – axial tension on one

side and compression

on the opposite side

(d) – torsion

(e) – bi-axial tension or

compression

Hydrostatic pressure

1 N/m2 = 1 Pascal (Pa)

106 Pa = 1 MPa

1 lb/in2 = 1 psi

103 psi = 1 ksi

Class Exercise

A cylindrical brick chimney is 50 feet tall. The bricks have a density of 1800 kg/m3. What is the axial compressive stress at the base? Does the shape and size of the cross-section matter? Will the bricks at the base support the pressure?

7

Class Exercise: Solution

Force = weight of chimney = mass x acceleration due to gravity = (volume x density) x acceleration due to gravity = Ahg

Stress = -Force /Area = -hg = (-15.24 x 1800 x 10 = 269,000 Pa = -0.269 MPa (‘-’ indicates compression)

The stress is independent of the shape or size of the cross-section

Will the brick at base hold? Yes – compressive strength of bricks is 10 – 70 MPa

8

Strain

Figure 4.3

(a)

Tensile stress lengthens the element causing a tensile strain (+)

Compressive stress shortens the element causing a compressive strain (-)

Strain is the ratio of two lengths

and is therefore

dimensionless

9

Hooke’s Law: within elastic regime, strain is proportional to stress:

 = E

9

Stress-Strain Curves

Figure 4.4

Initial portion of curve is approximately

linear and is elastic – the material

returns to its original shape once the

stress is removed

Within the linear elastic region, strain is

proportional to stress

E: Young’s modulus

G: shear modulus

K: bulk modulus

10

Stress-Strain Curve – Brittle Response

Entire response is elastic –

no plastic deformation

Yield strength not reached

before failure

Young’s modulus determined

by calculating the slope of

this region

11

11

Ductile Response

Permanent deformation occurs at stresses beyond the yield strength – material will not return to its original shape past this point

Tensile strength is maximum

stress on the curve

Yield strength determined by

standard offset methods

12

12

Poisson’s Ratio

Relates the Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and

bulk modulus to one another

Negative of the ratio of transverse strain

to axial strain in tensile loading

13

13

Class Exercise

In reference to chimney example, given that Young’s modulus of the bricks is 25 GPa and Poisson’s ratio is 0.2, what is the axial and transverse strain at the bottom of the chimney?

14

Class Exercise - Solution

15

-> Lateral strain is positive, which means that the bricks at the base of the chimney would show a small expansion.

Stress-Free Strain

Figure 4.5

In certain situations, strain is not caused by stress; however, stresses can develop if the body suffering the strain is constrained

Modulus – Relative Cost

Figure 4.7

Useful when the objective is minimizing cost

18

X-axis = Relative Cost Per Unit Volume Cv,R = (Price * Density for a material)/(Price*Density for Low Carbon Steel = $0.7/kg x 7800 kg/m3 = $5460/m3)

18

Anisotropy

The properties of most materials – glasses, ceramics, polymers and metals – do not depend on the direction in which they are measured across the material

Certain materials are considered anisotropic – meaning their properties are dependant upon which direction in the material they are being measured

Woods are stiffer along the grain than with it;

fiber composites are stronger and stiffer parallel

to the direction of the fibers than perpendicular

to them

19

19

What Determines Density

Density is mostly dependant on atomic weight

Metals are dense because their atoms are heavy –

iron has an atomic weight of 56

Polymers have low densities because they are made of light

atoms – carbon has an atomic weight of 12 while hydrogen

has an atomic weight of 1

The size of atoms and the way in which they are packed (atomic arrangement) also influence density, but to a much lesser degree

20

20

Levels of Atomic Arrangement

No order

Short range order

Glass: Short range order

Metals: Long range order

21

Classification of Materials Based on Order

22

Long-Range Order

Atoms form a regular, repetitive, gridlike pattern, or lattice.

Lattice is a collection of points, called lattice points

Surroundings of each point are identical

Lattice differs from material to material

Shape, size depending on the size of the atoms and the type of bonding between them

Crystal structure refers to size, shape and atomic arrangement within the lattice

23

Characterizing Packing

How tightly and efficiently atoms are packed together

Coordination number

The number of atoms touching a particular atom

Atomic packing factor (APF)

The fraction of the space occupied by the atoms

Unit Cell

24

Atomic Packing

Most materials are crystalline – have a regularly

repeating pattern of structural units

Atoms often behave as if they are

hard and spherical

Layer A represents the close-packed

layer – there is no way to pack the atoms

more closely than this

Metallic Crystals

33

• tend to be densely packed.

• have several reasons for dense packing:

-Typically, only one element is present, so all atomic

radii are the same.

-Metallic bonding is not directional.

-Nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in

order to lower bond energy.

• have the simplest crystal structures.

We will look at three such structures...

BONDING IN CERAMICS

68

Ceramic Crystal Structures: Intro

Ceramics are composed of at least two elements, so the lattice sites are occupied by ions, not atoms as in metals.

Metallic elements (Na, Ca, Ti, V, W, Fe) – tend to lose electrons (i.e. they are electropositive), become smaller in size, are positively charged, get attracted to cathode, hence called cations.

Nonmetallic elements (C, N, O) – tend to accept electrons (i.e. they are electronegative), become larger in size, are negatively charged, get attracted to anodes, hence called anions.

Atomic Packing in Glasses

Amorphous silica (SiO2) is the basis of most glasses. Rapid cooling after melting allows material to maintain amorphous structure while slow cooling leads to crystalline structure.

71

Carbon: Graphite

Three covalently bonded, co-planar carbon atoms hexagonally arranged, fourth bonding electron forms weak Van der Waals type bond between the layers

72

Carbon: Fullerene

Hollow spherical cluster of 60 carbon atoms to form a discrete C60 molecule, 20 hexagons and 5 pentagons. Such molecules (buckyballs) form crystalline solids when arranged in FCC structure.

Pure fullerene is electrically insulating, when impurities are added, it can become highly conductive or semiconductive.

73

Carbon: Nanotube

Single sheet of graphite rolled into a tube with tube ends capped by C60 fullerene hemispheres. Tube diameter is of the order nanometers (10-9 m) 100 nm or less.

Each tube consists of millions of atoms and high l/d ratio. Nanotubes are extremely strong, stiff and ductile, in fact it is the strongest known material (Tensile Strength: 50,000 – 200,000 MPa), elastic modulus 1000 GPa, low density, the ultimate fiber!

74

Carbon: Graphene

One atom thick planar sheets of carbon atoms forming honeycomb (hexagonal) lattice – it can be wrapped into fullerenes, rolled into nanotubes and stacked into graphite!

Potential applications: extremely strong sheets (200x strength of steel), electrically conducting, transparent: applications in electrical and electronics industry e.g. semiconductors, organic light emitting diodes, touch screens, bio-devices (DNA sequencing, antibacterial packaging), solar cells

Isotopes, Allotropes and Polymorphs

92

Isotope: atoms have different number of neutrons e.g. 126C, 146C; (this is of course quite different from isotropy which means having uniform properties in all directions)

Allotropes: different forms/shapes of crystal structure an element e.g. C: diamond, graphene, fullerene, graphite;

Polymorphs: general term meaning exhibiting different crystalline shapes, especially when applied to compounds e.g. SiO2 - -quartz, -quartz, citrine, rose quartz, milky quartz, amethyst,…

Question: water, ice and steam are examples of which of these terms?

CRYSTALS AS BUILDING BLOCKS

Applications of Single Crystals:

Silicon: Semiconductors, Microprocessors

Sapphire: Laser Generation

Fluorite (CaF2): Refracting Telescopes

Ni-based Superalloys: Turbine Blades

93

In jet engine use, single-crystal turbine airfoils have proven to have as much as nine times more relative life in terms of creep strength and thermal fatigue resistance and over three times more relative life for corrosion resistance, when compared to equiaxed crystal counterparts. Modern high turbine inlet temperature jet engines with long life (that is, 25,000 hours of operation between overhauls) would not be possible without the use of single-crystal turbine airfoils. By eliminating grain boundaries, single-crystal airfoils have longer thermal and fatigue life, are more corrosion resistant, can be cast with thinner walls—meaning less material and less weight—and have a higher melting point temperature. These improvements all contribute to higher efficiencies.

The beige single crystal blades on this GE 9H turbine — the world's largest — are approximately 18 inches long and weigh more than 30 pounds apiece. Material: Ni-based superalloy. Centrifugal forces of order 20,000g, operating temperature 3000 oF, service life between overhaul 25,000 hours. Applications: Boeing 767, Airbus A310

Polymer Structures

102

Polymer Structures: Intro

Natural polymers: wood, rubber, cotton, silk, wool, leather.

Polymers: consists of ‘mers’ (parts) of hydrocarbon compounds

Radical: a group of atoms that retains its identity during a chemical reaction e.g. CH3 (methyl), C2H5 (ethyl), C6H5 (phenyl)

Carbon: four valence electrons, saturated => single covalent bond (CH4 methane), unsaturated => double (C2H4 ethylene) or triple covalent (C2H2 acetylene) bonds;

Hydrogen: one valence electron

Paraffin Compounds (not polymers) : CnH2n+2

Common Hydrocarbon Groups

R and R’ represent organic radicals: radicals are groups of atoms that remain as a single unit and maintain their identity during chemical reactions. Example of singly bonded hydrocarbon radicals: methyl (CH3), ethyl (C2H5) and phenyl (C6H5) groups

Common Polymer Structures

Every 4th H in PE is replaced by Cl

All H in PE are replaced by F

Every 4th H in PE is replaced by CH3

Every 4th H in PE is replaced by a phenyl group C6H5

Homopolymer = all repeating units of the same type;

Copolymers = repeating units two or more types

C2H4 (ethylene) is normally a gas: becomes a solid (polyethylene - PE) under T and P due to polymerization

Thermosets and Thermoplasts

Thermosets = become hard after heating, 10 – 50% mer units get crosslinked (via covalent bonds), much harder and stronger than thermoplasts, e.g. vulcanized rubber, epoxy, phenolic resins.

Thermoplasts = “plastics”, they soften when heated, typically linear or branched polymers, secondary bonds are broken due to heating and chains are able to move or flow, when cooled harden or become viscous i.e. the process is reversible, e.g. PE, PP, PS, PC etc.

• Thermoplastics:

--little cross linking

--ductile

--soften with heating

--polyethylene

polypropylene

polycarbonate

polystyrene

• Thermosets:

--large cross linking

(10 to 50% of mers)

--hard and brittle

--do NOT soften with heating

--vulcanized rubber, epoxies,

polyester resin, phenolic resin

Moduli of elastomers is generally low and unlike metals, increases with temperature

Rule of Mixtures

f volume fraction of material or element A

ρA density of material or element A

ρB density of material or element B

Modifying the modulus and density is most effective when done at a macro scale such as creating a hybrid rather than a micro scale such as alloying a metal

Polymer matrix composite (PMC)

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC)

Metal matrix composite (MMC)

Modulus can be altered by

combining stiff fibers with a

less-stiff matrix

117

117

ρr – density of reinforcement

ρm – density of matrix

Modulus of composite bracketed by two bounds:

U (Upper bound): assumes that, on loading, both components strain

by the same amount, like springs in parallel

L (Lower Bound): assumes that, on loading, each component carries

the same stress, like springs in series

Class Exercise

Duralcan is a metal matrix composite (MMC) where ceramic powders such as 10% - 30% SiC or Alumina are added to 6061 grade Aluminum to improve the specific stiffness of Al. Duralcan is used to manufacture pistons, engine parts, brake discs, and sporting equipment (mountain bike frames, golf clubs etc.)

Given that the density of Al is 2.6 kg/m3 and Young’s modulus (E) of 75 GPa; the density of SiC is 3.15 kg/m3 and E of 430 GPa, calculate the density and E for Al-20% SiC MMC assuming that the young’s modulus of the hybrid material is closer to the lower bound solution.

Foams – Density and Modulus

Figure 4.23

ρs and Es are the density and modulus of the solid from which the foam is made, t is the thickness of the cell edges, and L is the cell size

122

Cell walls are bent when loaded

122

Figure 4.24

Modulus and density range for foams made from

elastomers and polymers – foaming lowers

both of these properties

• Atoms may assemble into crystalline or

amorphous structures.

• We can predict the density of a material,

provided we know the atomic weight, atomic

radius, and crystal geometry (e.g., FCC,

BCC, HCP).

• Material properties generally vary with single

crystal orientation (i.e., they are anisotropic),

but properties are generally non-directional

(i.e., they are isotropic) in polycrystals with

randomly oriented grains.
