Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 49QLP
Some coatings are extremely thin—some as thin as a few nanometers. Explain why even the Knoop test is not able to give reliable results for such coatings. Recent investigations have attempted to use highly polished diamonds (with a tip radius around 5 nm) to indent such coatings in atomic force microscopes. What concerns would you have regarding the appropriateness of the test results?

2.) Two previously undeformed specimens of the same metal are to be plastically deformed by
reducing their cross-sectional areas. One has a circular cross section, and the other is
rectangular; during deformation the circular cross section is to remain circular, and the
rectangular is to remain as such. Their original and deformed dimensions are as follows:
Circular
Rectangular
(diameter, mm)
(тm)
Original dimensions
Deformed dimensions
18.0
20 x 50
15.9
13.7 × 55.1
Which of these specimens will be the hardest after the plastic deformation?
a) The deformed circular specimen will be harder
b) The deformed rectangular specimen will be harder
c) Both will have the same hardness
d) Both would brake
e) No estimation can be made for such process
You are called as an expert witness to analyze the fracture of a sintered silicon carbide plate that was fractured in bending when a blunt load was applied to the plate center. Measurement of the distance between the fracture origin and the mirror/mist boundary on the fracture surface gives a radius of 0.796 mm. You are given three pieces of the same SiC to test, and you determine that the mirror radius is 0.603, 0.203, and 0.162 mm for bending failure stress levels of 225, 368, and 442 MPa, respectively. What is your estimate of the stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate?
