Answer to Problem 1CQ

The motion of dislocation is the main reason for plastic strain in metals at temperature below half of melting temperature.

Explanation of Solution

Plastic strain is the strain obtained in material when the material is stretched beyond its elastic limit. Plastic strain is the permanent strain as material do not regains its original shape after the removal of force. The unloading curve on stress-strain curve follows a very different path from its original one.

The defects present in crystalline metals are the main reason for the plastic strain in them. The dislocations formed in metals during the solidification are one of the defects in it. In crystalline metals the motion of dislocation is the main reason for plastic strain in metals at temperature below half of melting temperature.

Conclusion:

Thus, motion of dislocation is the main reason for plastic strain in metals at temperature below half of melting temperature.

Draw a tensile stress-strain curve for a typical semi-crystalline polymer such as LLDPE, and define the three main regions on the curve.
Narrow bars of aluminum are bonded to the two sides of a thick steel plate as shown. Initially, at T₁ = 70°F, all stresses are zero. Knowing that the temperature will be slowly raised to T₂ and then reduced to T₁, determine (a) the highest temperature T₂ that does not result in residual stresses, (b) the temperature T₂ that will result in a residual stress in the aluminum equal to 58 ksi. Assume aa = 12.8 x 10-6/°F for the aluminum and a = 6.5 × 10-6/°F for the steel. Further assume that the aluminum is elastoplastic with E = 10.9 × 106 psi and ay = 58 ksi. (Hint: Neglect the small stresses in the plate.) Fig. P2.121
