Review
1.1 In your own words, what are two differences between product testing and
material testing?

Possible answers include: (a) The goal of the two procedures is different. Whereas product
testing is design to determine the lifetime of a component under conditions that mimic
real- world use, material testing is intended to extract fundamental material properties
that are independent of the material’s use. (b) The specimen shape is different. Product
testing must use the material in the shape in which it will be used in the real product.
Material testing uses idealized specimen shapes designed to unambiguously determine one
or more properties of the material with the simplest analysis possible.

1.2 What are the distinguishing differences between elasticity, plasticity, and fracture?

Elasticity involves only deformation that is fully reversible when the applied load is
removed (even if it takes time to occur). Plasticity is permanent shape change without
cracking, even when no load exists. Fracture inherently involves breaking of bonds and the
creation of new surfaces. Often two or more of these processes take place simultaneously,
but the contribution of each can be separated from the others.

1.3 Write the definitions for engineering stress, true stress, engineering strain,
and true strain for loading along a single axis.

, those conditions are not met?
