Materials-Stress

• How does the concept of stress relate to the physical behavior of materials under force?

  Stress quantifies the internal response to applied force.
• What does the thickness of a rubber band determine?

  It determines the area

  It indicates how much the paper feels the poke
• What is the relationship between force and stress in materials?

  Stronger force leads to higher stress.
• What does the variable *F* represent in the stress equation?

  It is the push or pull applied to the material
• What is the relationship between force, area, and stress?

  Stress equals force divided by area
• What does the variable *A* represent in the stress equation?

  It is the size of the area the force acts on
• What information can be obtained from a stress-strain curve?

  • The stress-strain curve shows the relationship between the applied stress (σ) and the resulting strain (ε) in the material
  • Key information includes the elastic limit, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture point
• How is stress defined in the context of a rubber band?

  Stress is the force per unit area
• What is the formula for cross-sectional area of cylindrical objects?

  $A =$$\pi r^{2}$
• How does stretching a rubber band illustrate the stress equation?

  • Force: How hard you pull it
  • Area: Thickness of the rubber band
  • Stress: Amount of stretching per unit area
• What happens to a rubber band when you increase the force ($F$) applied to it?


  • The rubber band stretches more
  • This results in increased stress ($σ$)
• What is the formula for calculating stress (σ)?

  σ = F/S
• If you push a toy car, what does the push represent?

  The push represents the force
• What is the formula for the stress equation?

  $\sigma =$$\frac{F}{A}$
• What does the area S represent in the context of stress distribution?

  It is calculated based on the object's shape
• Why is cross-sectional area significant in the context of stress?

  It determines how force is distributed over an area
• What does the variable *σ* represent in the stress equation?

  It measures how much a material is stressed
• How do you calculate stress if $F =$$150$ N and $A =$$30$ m²?


  $\sigma =$$5$ Pa
• What does increasing the force on a rubber band demonstrate about stress?


  It shows that stress increases with force.
• What are the units for stress (σ)?

  Pascals (Pa)
• How does the cross-sectional area (S) relate to the stress (σ) in the tensile test formula?

  Stress is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area
• What happens to stress if the force increases while area remains constant?

  Stress increases
• What is the relationship between strain (ε) and change in length (ΔL)?

  • Strain (ε) = ΔL/L, where ΔL is the change in length and L is the original gauge length
• What does the variable $A$ represent in the stress formula?


  Cross-sectional area in square meters (m²)
• What are the steps to calculate stress using the stress equation?

  1. Identify values of force ($F$) and area ($A$).
  2. Substitute these values into the equation ($\sigma =$$\frac{F}{A}$).
  3. Divide force by area to calculate stress ($\sigma$).
• How do you calculate stress from force and area?

  Divide force by area

  Stress is force per unit area
• How does the area of a cylindrical specimen affect stress distribution under tensile force?

  • Larger cross-sectional area reduces stress
  • Force is distributed over a larger region
  • Thicker materials handle tensile forces better
• What is the name of the force applied in a tensile test?

  Tensile Test Force F
