wo beams, one having square cross section and another circular cross-section, are ubjected to the same amount of bending moment. If the cross-sectional area as well as the material of both the beams are same then (A) Maximum bending stress developed in both the beams is the same (B) The circular beam experiences more bending stress than the square one (C) The square beam experiences more bending stress than the circular one (D) As the material is same both the beams will experience same deformation

Q: A single crystal of BCC iron is subjected to tensile stress of 100 MPa along the [001] direction.…

A:

Material Properties

Construction in civil engineering demands high strength, durability, and longevity. These targets can be achieved by better design and analysis, along with the correct choice of materials. Different materials have different properties and hence, they respond and performs differently under the various condition of external loadings. It is therefore a critical task of an engineer to select the right material based on the property that the material is supposed to function in real-time. When speaking about the property, there are different categories of material properties like chemical property, physical property, mechanical property, electrical property, magnetic property, thermal property, etc. These material properties form the basis of material selection in various applications.
