Question 1.
What does residual stress refer to in materials?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens to stress when loads are not applied.
Question 2.
How many independent components does the stiffness tensor have after major symmetry?
Show hintHide hint
Start with 81 and apply the symmetries we discussed.
3Question 3.
What is the main purpose of the stress-strain relation?
- To calculate the weight of materials
- To ensure materials do not fail under stress
- To determine the color of materials
Show hintHide hint
Think about why engineers care about material properties.
4Question 4.
True or False: Residual stress refers to the stress present when a material is under an external load.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the definition we've discussed.
Question 5.
If a material's behavior deviates significantly from linearity under certain load conditions, how would this affect the application of Taylor's expansion? Provide a detailed argument.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the implications of large deformations and how they might impact dependency relations.
Question 6.
How would you apply Taylor's expansion in a scenario where you have a composite material and different properties for its constituents? Describe your approach.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the properties interact and consolidate results using rules for composites.
