MATERIAL BEHAVIOURS
(A) Creep
When a metal or an alloy is under a constant load or stress, it may
undergo progressive
plastic deformation over a period of time. This time dependent strain
called creep.
For example, an engineer selecting an alloy for the turbine blades of
a gas turbine engine must choose an alloy with a very low creep rate
so that the blades can remain for in service for a long period of time
before having of replaced.
A typical creep curve for a metal. The curve represents the time versus strain
behavior of a metal or alloy under a constant load at constant temperature.
(B) Fatigue
In many types of service applications metal parts subjected to
repetitive or cyclic stresses will fail due to fatigue loading at a much
lower stress than that which the part can withstand under the
application of a single static stress.
These failures that occur under repeated or cyclic stressing are called
fatigue failure.
Example: machine parts in which fatigue failures are moving parts
such as shafts, connecting rods and gears.
(C) Fracture
One of the important and practical aspects of materials selection in
the design, development and production of the new components is
the possibility of failure of the component under normal operation.
Failure can defined as the inability of the material or a component to:
Perform the intended function
Meet performance criteria although it may still be operational
Perform safely and reliably even after deterioration
Yielding, wear, buckling (elastic instability), corrosion and fracture
are examples of situations in which a component has failed.
Fracture is separation of a solid under stress into two or more parts.
In general metal fractures can be classified as ductile or brittle, but a
fracture can be a mixture of the two.
i.
Ductile Fracture
Occur after extensive plastic deformation and is characterized by slow crack
propagation
i.
Brittle Fracture
Proceed along characterized by crystallographic planes called cleavage planes and has
rapid crack propagation
