Explanation / Answer

Answer :

1. Define strain:

Answer :Strain is defined as the amount of deformation an object experiences compared to its original size and shape. For example, if a block 10 cm on a side is deformed so that it becomes 9 cm long, the strain is (10-9)/10 or 0.1 (sometimes expressed in percent, in this case 10 percent.) Note that strain is dimensionless.

2. Define Axial strain:

   Answer :Axial strain occurs in the direction that the load is applied, or on the same axis as the applied load. Say if you were pulling on a rope, axial strain occurs on the axis on which you are pulling the rope (x, y, z).             

3. Steel is not highly elastic? True or False

    Answer : True         

4. What is the difference between long columns and short columns?

  Answer :

short columns: A column is considered to be short when the ratio of its effective length to its least lateral dimension does not exceed12.
  long columns : If the ratio of the the effective length to its least lateral dimension exceeds12 the column is considered to be a long column.

              

5. What does it mean by Tangent Modulus? When does the tangent modulus get used?

   Answer : The tangent modulus is the slope of the compression stress-strain curve at any specified stress or strain. Below the proportional limit the tangent modulus is equivalent to Young's modulus. Above the proportional limit the tangent modulus varies with strain and is most accurately found from test data.

2 - The tangent modulus is useful in describing the behavior of materials that have been stressed beyond the elastic region. When a material is plastically deformed there is no longer a linear relationship between stress and strain as there is for elastic deformations. The tangent modulus quantifies the "softening" of material that generally occurs when it begins to yield.

           

6. Effective slenderness ratio is the factor, which determines whether a column is a short column or a long column? True or False

Answer : True

               

7. What are four controlling factors in the heat treatment process?

    Answer : 1- Annealing

                    2 - Hardening.

                    3 - Normalizing

                    4 - Tempering

          

8. What is the purpose of Hardening Heat Treatment?

    Answer :  

HARDENING AND TEMPERING

Heat treatment of steel in a school workshop is normally a two stage process. For example, if a high carbon steel or silver steel screw driver blade has been manufactured, at some point it will have to be
