How does strain relate to deformation in materials?
✔✔Strain is the measure of deformation representing the change in length relative to the original
length.
What is yield strength?
✔✔Yield strength is the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically.
Why is Young's modulus important in materials science?
✔✔Young's modulus measures a material’s stiffness, or resistance to elastic deformation under
load.
What is the difference between stress and strain?
✔✔Stress is the internal force per unit area within a material, while strain is the measure of
deformation from that stress.

,How is ductility defined in the context of materials science?
✔✔Ductility is the ability of a material to undergo significant plastic deformation before rupture.
What does hardness indicate about a material?
✔✔Hardness indicates a material's resistance to deformation, scratching, or indentation.
What is toughness in materials science?
✔✔Toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and deform plastically before
fracturing.
Why are brittle materials generally weaker under tension?
✔✔Brittle materials lack the ability to undergo plastic deformation and are more prone to
cracking under tensile stress.
What is plastic deformation?
✔✔Plastic deformation is the permanent change in shape that occurs when a material is
subjected to a stress beyond its elastic limit.
2
, How does temperature typically affect the strength of metals?
✔✔Higher temperatures generally decrease the strength of metals by making them softer and
more ductile.
What is fatigue in materials?
✔✔Fatigue is the weakening of a material caused by repeated cyclic loading, eventually leading
to fracture.
What is the purpose of conducting a tensile test?
✔✔A tensile test is conducted to determine mechanical properties like yield strength, tensile
strength, and ductility.
What causes creep in materials?
✔✔Creep is caused by long-term exposure to high stress and temperature, leading to slow,
permanent deformation over time.
What is the main characteristic of a brittle fracture?
✔✔Brittle fracture occurs with little or no plastic deformation, often breaking suddenly and
without warning.
