•
six materials that engineers have to work with:
•
1. metals
•
2. polymers
•
3.                 
•
4. glass
•
5. fiberglass
•
6.                             
•
in each case there is a difference at a very low level
•
e.g. in the case of fiberglass, the                        architecture of the fiber-reinforced composite
•
underlying principle
•
a mantra of material science: structure leads to                     
•
differences at the atomic or microscope level lead to differences at the                        or engineering level
•
stress-strained curve
•
early concept of atomic bonding led to characteristic of                   
•
bonding force curve is the first derivative of the bonding energy curve
•
two              atoms in a polymer
•
two aluminum atoms in a aluminum alloy
•
the difference between an aluminum and oxygen ion in an aluminum oxide
•
at the atomic scale, we are trying to tear atoms apart
•
a macroscopic scale manifestations of atomic bonding
•
production of materials
•
make them fast or slow to affect                properties
•
how a crystal-structure deformation is the basis of plastic deformation
•
edge dislocation
•
                 crystal structure
•
a            arrangement of atoms
•
in the middle, we have                  in an extra half-plane of atoms
•
compare to perfect crystal
•
contrast it with the dislocation area
•
if you draw a loop around it, you don't come back to the same place:                vector
•
Burgers vector
•
named after Dutch physicist Jan Burgers, is a vector, that represents the                    and direction of the lattice distortion resulting from a dislocation in a crystal lattice.
•
this is the basis of                        this structure in a mathematical way
•
the movement of those linear defects is the basis of plastic deformation
•
an object in the plastic deformation range will first have undergone elastic deformation, which is reversible, so the object will return part way to its                  shape
•
deformation
•
deformation refers to any changes in the shape or size of an object due to:
•
1. an applied           
•
2. a change in                       
•
as deformation occurs, internal inter-molecular forces arise that oppose the applied force
•
if the applied force is not too great, these forces may be sufficient to completely              the applied force and allow the object to assume a new equilibrium state and to return to its original state when the load is removed
•
elastic deformation
•
reversible
•
                     and shape memory metals
•
plastic deformation
•
irreversible
•
metal               
•
occurs primarily in ductile metals
•
was originally thought that a material deformed only within the elastic range returned completely to its original state once the forces were removed
•
however,              are introduced at the molecular level with each deformation
•
after many deformations,              will begin to appear, followed soon after by a fracture, with no apparent plastic deformation in between
