Understand in general how the limitations on strengths and ductility of materials are dealt with in engineering design. Develop an appreciation of how the development of new technology requires new materials and new methods of evaluating the mechanical behavior of materials. Learn of the surprisingly large costs of fracture to the economy. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Designers of machines, vehicles, and structures must achieve acceptable levels of performance and economy, while at the same time striving to guarantee that the item is both safe and durable. To assure performance, safety, and durability, it is necessary to avoid excess deformation- that is, bending, twisting, or stretching-of the components (parts) of the machine, vehicle, or structure. IN addition, cracking in components must be avoided entirely, or strictly limited, so that it does not progress to the point of complete fracture. The study of deformation and fracture in materials is called mechanical behavior of materials. Knowledge of this area provides the basis for avoiding these types of failure in engineering 2 applications. One aspect of the subject is the physical testing of samples of materials by applying forces and deformations. Once the behavior of a given material is quantitatively known from testing, or from published test data, its chances of success in a particular engineering design can be evaluated. The most basic concern in design to avoid structural failure is that the stress in a component must not exceed the strength of the material, where the strength is simply the stress that causes a deformation or fracture failure. Additional complexities or particular causes of failure often require further analysis, such as the following: 1. Stresses are often present that act in more than one direction； that is, the state of stress is biaxial or triaxial. 2. Real components may contain flaws or even cracks that must be specifically considered. 3. Stresses may be applied for long periods of time. 4. Stresses may be repeatedly applied and removed, or the direction of stress repeatedly reversed. In the remainder of this introductory chapter, we will define and briefly discuss various types of material failure, and we will consider the relationships of mechanical behavior of materials to engineering design, to new technology, and to the economy. 1.2 TYPES OF MATERIAL FAILURE A deformation failure is a change in the physical dimensions or shape of a component that is sufficient for its function to be lost or impaired. Cracking to the extent that a component is separated into two or more pieces is termed fracture. Corrosion is the loss of material due to chemical action, and wear is surface removal due to abrasion or sticking between solid surfaces that touch. IF wear is caused by a fluid (gas or liquid), it is called erosion, which is especially likely if the fluid contains hard particles. Although corrosion and wear also of great importance, this book primarily considers deformation and fracture. The basis types of material failure that are classified as either deformation or fracture are indicated in Fig. 1.1. Since several different causes exist, it is important to correctly identify the ones that may apply to a given design, so that the appropriate analysis methods can be chosen to predict the behavior. With such a need for classification in mind, the various types of deformation 3 and fracture are defined and briefly described next. Figure 1.1 Basic types of deformation and fracture. Figure 1.2 Axial member (a) subject to loading and unloading, showing elastic deformation (b) and both elastic and plastic deformation (c). 1.2.1 Elastic and Plastic Deformation Deformations are quantified in terms of normal and shear strain in elementary mechanics of materials. The cumulative effect of the strains in a component is a deformation, such as a bend, twist, or stretch. Deformations are sometimes essential for function, as in a spring. Excessive deformation, especially if permanent, is often harmful. Deformation that appears quickly upon loading can be classed as either elastic deformation or plastic deformation, as illustrated in Fig. 1.2. Elastic deformation is recovered immediately upon unloading. Where this is the only deformation present, stress and strain are usually 4 proportional. For axial loading, the constant of proportionality is the modulus of elasticity, E, as defined in Fig.1.2 (b). An example of failure by elastic deformation is a tall building that sways in the wind and causes discomfort to the occupants, although there may be only remote chance of collapse. Elastic deformations are analyzed by the methods of elasticity and structural analysis. Plastic deformation is not recovered upon unloading and is therefore permanent. The difference between elastic and plastic deformation is illustrated in Fig.1.2(c). Once plastic deformation begins, only a small increase in stress usually causes a relatively large additional deformation. This process of relatively easy further deformation is called yielding, and the value of stress where this behavior begins to be important for a given material is called the yield strength, o. Materials capable of sustaining large amounts of plastic deformation are said to behave in a ductile manner, and those that fracture without very much plastic deformation behave in a brittle manner. Ductile behavior occurs for many metals, such as low-strength steels copper, and lead, and for some plastic, such as polyethylene. Brittle behavior occurs for glass, stone, acrylic plastic, and some metals, such as the high-strength steel used to make a file. (Note that the word plastic is used both as the common name for polymeric materials and in identifying plastic deformation, which can occur in any type of material.) Figure 1.3 Tension test showing brittle and ductile behavior. There is little plastic deformation for brittle behavior, but a considerable amount for ductile behavior. Tension tests are often employed to assess the strength and ductility of materials, as illustrated in Fig. 1.3. Such a test is done by slowly stretching a bar of the material in tension until 5 it breaks (fractures). The ultimate tensile strength,u, which is the highest stress reached before fracture, is obtained along with the yield strength and the strain at fracture,f. The latter is a measure of ductility and is usually expressed as a percentage, then being called the percent elongation. Materials having high values of both u andf are said to be tough, and tough materials are generally desirable for use in design. Large plastic deformations virtually always constitute failure. For example, collapse of a steel bridge or building during an earthquake could occur due to plastic deformation. However, plastic deformation can be relatively small, but still cause malfunction of a component. For example, in a rotating shaft, a slight permanent bend results in unbalanced rotation, which in turn may cause vibration and perhaps early failure of the bearings supporting the shaft. Buckling is deformation due to compressive stress that causes large changes in alignment of columns or plates, perhaps to the extent of folding or collapse. Either elastic or plastic deformation, or a combination of both, can dominate the behavior. Buckling is generally considered in books on elementary mechanics of materials and structural analysis. 1.2.2 Creep Deformation Creep is deformation that accumulates with time. Depending on the magnitude of the applied stress and its duration, the deformation may become so large that a component can no longer perform its function. Plastic and low-melting-temperature metals may creep at room temperature, and virtually any material will creep upon approaching its melting temperature. Creep is thus often an important problem where high temperature is encountered, as in gas-turbine aircraft engines. Buckling can occur in a time-dependent manner due to creep deformation. 6 Figure 1.4 A tungsten lightbulb filament sagging under its own weight. The deflection increases with time due to creep and lead to touching of adjacent coils, which causes bulb failure. An example of an application involving creep deformation is the design of tungsten lightbulb filaments. The situation is illustrated in Fig.1.4. Sagging of the filament coil between its supports increases with time due to creep deformation caused by the weight of the filament itself. If too much deformation occurs, the adjacent turns of the coil touch one another, causing an electrical short and local overheating, which quickly leads to failure of the filament. The coil geometry and supports are therefore designed to limit the stresses caused by the weight of the filament, and a special tungsten alloy that creeps less than pure tungsten is used. 1.2.3 Fracture under Static and Impact Loading Rapid fracture can occur under loading that does not vary with time or that changes only slowly, called static loading. If such a fracture is accompanied by little plastic deformation, it is called a brittle fracture. This is the normal mode of failure of glass and other materials that are resistant to plastic deformation. If the loading is applied very rapidly, called impact loading, brittle fracture is more likely to occur. If a crack or other sharp flaw is present, brittle fracture can occur even in ductile steels or aluminum alloys, or in other materials that are normally capable of deforming plastically by large amounts. Such situations are analyzed by the special technology called fracture mechanics, which is the study of cracks in solids. Resistance to brittle fracture in the presence of a crack is measured by a material property called the fracture toughness,lc, as illustrated in Fig. 1.5. Materials with 7 high strength generally have fracture toughness, and vice versa. This trend is illustrated for several classes of high-strength steel in Fig. 1.6. Figure 1.5 Fracture toughness test. K is a measure of the severity of the combination of crack size, geometry, and load.lc is the particular value, called the fracture toughness, where the material fails. Figure 1.6 Decreased fracture toughness, as yield strength is increases by heat treatment, for various classes of high-strength steel.

This type of fracture is accompanied by significant plastic deformation and is sometimes a gradual tearing process. Fracture mechanics and brittle or ductile fracture are especially important in the design of pressure vessels and large welded structures, such as bridges and ships. Fracture may occur as a result of a combination of stress and chemical effects, and this is called environmental cracking. Problems of this type are a particular concern in the chemical industry, but also occur widely elsewhere. For example, some low-strength steels are susceptible to cracking in caustic (basic or high pH) chemicals such as NaOH, and high-strength steels may crack in the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas. The term stress-corrosion cracking is also used to describe such behavior. This latter term is especially appropriate where material removal by corrosive action is also involved, which is not the case for all types of environmental cracking. Photographs of cracking caused by a hostile environment are shown in Fig. 1.7. Creep deformation may proceed to the point that separation into two pieces occurs. This is called creep rupture and is similar to ductile fracture, except that the process is time dependent. Figure 1.7 Stainless steel wires broken as a result of environmental attack. These were employed in a filter exposed at 300 to a complex organic environment that included molten nylon. Cracking occurred along the boundaries of the crystal grains of the material. (Photos by W.
