State whether the following questions are True or False.
Type your answer (True or False) inside the box below for each question:
a) Ductility is a solid material’s ability to deform under tensile stress; this is often characterized by the material’s ability to be stretched into a wire.
Answer:
b) The ratio of the shear stress to the shear strain in the elastic range of torsion test is known as the Young’s Modulus or Modulus of Elasticity, E.
Answer:
c) The Engineering Stress, σ is defined as the ratio of the applied load to the instantaneous cross-sectional area of the test specimen.
Answer:
d) The area under the true stress–true strain curve up to fracture is known as the material’s toughness.
Answer:
e) The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes state from liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure.
