Block 3 –Materials/Structural IntegrityThree purposes to this block of lectures:1. To allow you to understand limits on stressesthat a structure can carry: 1-D and multiaxial –in order to design2. To allow you to understand the origins (andlimits) of the strength in the different classes ofmaterial –identifying “unobtainium”, origins andlimitations on models for strength3. To allow you to select materials for specificfunctions, understand design process.Note: “Failure” occurs when a structure cannot meetits design requirements. Does not necessarilycorrespond to material “failure” – e.g buckling. We willfocus on material aspects here.Materials can behave in a variety of ways accordingto the loading. Examples:1. a piece of metal wire (paper clip):Can “twang” it – elastic deformationBend it - leading to permanent deformationCyclic loading – rupture into two pieces (fatigue)2. A piece of aluminum foil:Load it up and it “necks down” before fracturePut a notch in it and it tears3. A balloon (pressurized aircraft fuselage)Stick a pin in it and it explodes – catastrophicfailure4. e.g piece of solder wire with a weight hanging fromit under a bright light - creepWe will examine four types of failure in Unified; Yield(ductile failure), Fracture (brittle failure), Fatigue(cyclic loading) and creep (time/temperaturedependent failure) – necessarily brief. Read Ashbyand Jones for more details.M15 Yielding and PlasticityReading: Ashby and Jones ch. 8, 11Characteristic stress-strain curve and materialresponse for a ductile metal under uniaxial loadingUnloading and reloading is elastic, permanent strain:u[Load-extension curve for a bar of ductile metal(e.g. annealed copper) pulled in tension.FFFAF = 0F = 0 F = 0F = 0AoI0FuFF FImage adapted from: Ashby, M.
