COMPRE

Silly Putty's behavior under stress is influenced by its viscoelastic nature, exhibiting ductile fracture under slow deformation and brittle fracture under rapid stretching. The document also outlines various testing procedures for evaluating adhesive bond strength and material embrittlement using acoustic emission techniques, including ultrasonic pulse echo methods. Additionally, it discusses tensile testing of composite materials and the calculation of mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity and toughness.

Why does silly putty break when you stretch it very quickly?

Silly Putty is a viscoelastic material. As such, the deformation of Silly Putty is significantly affected by
strain rate. When Silly Putty is deformed slowly (low strain rate), its polymeric chains are allowed to
uncoil, detangle, and move relative to one another, and we observe ductile fracture with great plastic
deformation. When Silly Putty is deformed quickly (high strain rate), the polymeric chains are not able to
move relative to each other, bonds are broken, and the Silly Putty exhibits brittle fracture

Explain the testing procedure for evaluation of strength of adhesive bonds and checking embrittlement
of materials using acoustic emission technique.

The ultrasonic pulse echo method is used to detect defect in a steel plate of 40cm thickness. The
ultrasonic pulse is send from the ultrasonic transmitter kept at the top surface of the plate. If the
reflected echo from the defect arrives to the top surface after 30 microseconds and another echo
reflected from the bottom surface of the plate arrives to the receiving transducer after 80 microseconds.
Find the distance of the defect from the top surface where the transducers are placed.
Q5 Consider the component subjected to tension as given in fig. Q7. The component is machined in a
stepped section. The initial diameters of the two regions were 2.0 cm and 1.9 cm (before the
application of tensile load). The diameter of the section changes to 1.893 cm and 1.698 cm,
respectively after the application of certain tensile load to it. The application of tensile load
induces tensile strain hardening in the component. Assuming the tensile strain hardening is
described by σ =K ϵ n , find n for the material.

Q6 Consider a glass fiber- epoxy matrix composite having cross-sectional area 1000mm 2 is subjected
to tensile test. The following results are obtained from tensile test data:
[10M]
Stress sustained by fiber phase= 220MPa, Stress sustained by matrix phase= 6MPa, force
sustained by fiber phase= 75000N, Total Longitudinal strain in composite=-.0015. Calculate:
a) Force sustained by matrix phase.
b) Compute the modulus of elasticity of this composite in the longitudinal and perpendicular
direction.
c) Compute the modulus of elasticity of fiber and matrix phase.
Q7) A composite beam of dimension 1m long, 150mm wide (b), and 200mm thick (h) is to be
designed (selection of best material). The important consideration in selecting the material is to
be given to bending stiffness in terms of longitudinal modulus of elasticity. Stiffness is to be
specified as maximum allowable deflection in bending. A three-point bend test is performed on
the beam, which is resting on two supports. The design requires that load of 300kN applied on
the beam at a distance of 0.4m from left hand side should not produce elastic deflection more
than 1mm.
Continuous fibers that are oriented parallel to the beam axis will be used, possible fiber
materails are glass and C (in standard and high modulus grades). The matrix material to be
used is an epoxy resin, and the maximum allowable fiber volume fraction is 0.60. The properties
of the fibers and matrix are given below in the table
[18M]
a) Decide which of the three fiber materials, when embedded in the epoxy matrix, meet the
stipulated criterion.
b) Of these possible fibers, select the fiber material that will yield the lowest cost composite material
(assume the fabrication cost is same for all fibers)
Material E (GPa) Density g/cm3 Cost ($/kg)
Glass fibers 72 2.5 2.5
C-fiber (std. modulus) 200 1.5 30
C-fiber(high modulus) 400 1,5 120
Epoxy Resin Matrix 2.5 1.1 9
Q5) Find the toughness (or energy to cause fracture) for a metal that experiences both elastic and plastic
deformation. Assume for elastic deformation, that the modulus of elasticity is 172 GPa, and that elastic
deformation terminates at a strain of 0.01. For plastic deformation, assume that the relationship
between stress and strain is described by σ=Kε n, in which the values for K and n are 6900 MPa and 0.30,
respectively. Furthermore, plastic deformation occurs between strain values of 0.01 and 0.75, at which
point fracture occurs. [10]

Answer the following with proper justifications: [15M]

a) Would you expect the tensile strength of polychlorotrifluoroethylene to be greater than,


the same as, or less than that of a polytetrafluoroethylene specimen having the same
mol.wt and degree of crystallinity.
b) Two specimens of different materials and cross-section are subjected to tensile test.
Based on the given data, comment on the stiffness of the two specimens.
Material A: EA=205GPa, AA=200mm2, LA=50mm2 ,
Material B: EA=75GPa, AA=100mm2, LA=100mm2
