By the end of this chapter, students will be able to...
Explain how the yield strength of a metal is related to the ability of dislocations to move.
Plot the yield strength, tensile strength, and ductility versus percent cold work for a metal sample.
Cite three properties that become altered when a metal is plastically deformed.
Compute the percent of cold work if the original and deformed cross-sectional dimensions of a metal that has been cold-worked are given.
Locate regions of compressive and tensile strains, which are created in the crystal due to the presence of dislocations, when given a drawing of an atom position around edge dislocation.
Define critical resolved shear stress.
Explain why fracture toughness, not toughness, is used for engineering design purposes.
Explain why ace-centered cubic metals do not experience ductile-to-brittle transition with decreasing temperature, while body-centered cubic metal do experience this.
Describe the phenomenon of cold working (strain-hardening) in terms of dislocation motion and interaction.
Define creep, fatigue, and fracture, and specify the conditions under which each of them occurs.
