I'm not asking for the answer to my homework, i just need to find a way to find the modulus of toughness and/or modulus of Reilience of brass with data that i have on a force/displacement graph, i also need the definition so if you knew them or knew any good sites, i would appreciate it. thanks

UT ≈ Su*ef
UT ≈ ((S0 + Su)/2)*ef

What does this mean, I don't know what the e, f, s, u, o, mean in this equation. what do they equal

MODULUS OF RESILIANCE:

The ability of a material to absorb energy when deformed elastically and to return it when unloaded is called resilience. This is usually measured by the modulus of resilience, which is the strain energy per unit volume required to stress the material from, zero stress to the yield stress s. The strain energy per unit volume for uniaxial tension is

Uθ = (1/2)*σxex
From the above definition the modulus of resilience is

UR = (1/2)*Sθeθ = (1/2)*Sθ*(Sθ/E) = (Sθ)2/(2E)

This equation indicates that the ideal material for resisting energy loads in applications where the material must not undergo permanent distortion, such as mechanical springs, is having a high yield stress and a low modulus of elasticity.


MODULUS OF TOUGHNESS:

The toughness of a material is its ability to absorb energy in the plastic range. The ability to withstand occasional, stresses above the yield stress without fracturing is particularly desirable in parts such as freight-car couplings, gears, chains, and crane hooks. Toughness is a commonly used concept, which is difficult to pin down and define. One way of looking at toughness is to consider that it is the total area under the stress-strain curve. This area is an indication of the amount of work per unit volume, which can be done, on the material without causing it to rupture. Figure 1.2 shows the stress-strain curves for high- and low-toughness materials. The high-carbon spring steel has a higher yield strength and tensile strength than the medium-carbon structural steel. However, the structural steel is more ductile and has a greater total elongation. The total area under the stresstrain curve is greater for the structural steel, and therefore it is a tougher material. This illustrates that toughness is a parameter that comprises both strength and ductility. The crosshatched regions in Fig. 1 indicate the modulus of resilience for each steel. Because of its higher yield strength, the spring steel has the greater resilience.
Several mathematical approximations for the area under the stress-strain curve have been suggested. For ductile metals that have a stress-strain curve like that of the structural steel, the area under the curve can be approximated by either of the following equations:
UT ≈ Su*ef
UT ≈ ((S0 + Su)/2)*ef
For brittle materials the stress-strain curve is sometimes assumed to be a parabola, and the area under the curve is given by
UT ≈ (2/3)*Su * ef

Modulus Of Toughness

2016-09-30 08:11:10 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

Modulus of toughness is a measure of how much energy a material will absorb before breaking. It is found by taking the area under the stress-strain curve. Since this curve is in stress (in psi) versus deflection (no units, just a proportion), the units of this are psi also. However, it is more accurately thought of as in-lb/in^3, that is, as energy per volume. In SI units it's in J/m^3.

Modulus of resilience is the amount of energy absorbed up to the elastic limit. This is energy that is stored and will be released when the material returns to its original form. Same idea as the modulus of toughness, but just the area under the elastic curve. Since this part of the curve is linear, you just calculate it as P^2/2E, where P is the proportional limit.
