Stiffness
It is the resistance of a
material to deflection, also
called rigidity.
Strength
The ability to withstand
plastic
and
elastic
deformations.
3. Explain the term fatigue. Also explain the term fatigue strength and fatigue
limit related to fatigue.
4. Explain the difference between hardness and brittleness, strength and stiffness,
elasticity and creep, malleability and ductility.
Hardness
Brittleness
The ability of a material to resist The property of breaking without much
scratching, abrasion, indentation, or permanent distortion.
penetration.
Elasticity
The ability of a material of coming back to
its original position after deformation
when the stress or load is removed.
Creep
7. Draw a typical creep test curve, showing different stages of elongation for a
long time, high temperature creep test. State how the information is useful to
the design engineers.
8. Differentiate between:
a. Hardness and impact resistance
b. Hardness and toughness
9. Explain: Brittleness, Stiffness and Ductility.
- Brittleness is the property of breaking without much permanent distortion.
