Understand the basic mechanisms of inelastic deformation due to plasticity and creep.Learn why actual strengths of materials fall far below the theoretical strength to break chemical bonds.2.1 INTRODUTIONA wide variety of materials are used in applications where resistance to mechanical loading is necessary. These are collectively called engineering materials and can be broadly classified as metals alloys, polymers, ceramics and glasses, and composites. Some typical members of each class are given in Table 2.1.Differences among the classes of materials as to chemical bonding and microstructure affect mechanical behavior, giving rise to relative advantages and disadvantages among the classes. The situation is summarized by Fig .2.1.For example .the strong chemical bonding in ceramics and glasses imparts mechanical strength and stiffness (high E), and also temperature and corrosion resistance, but cause brittle behavior. In contrast, many polymers are relatively weakly bonded between the chain molecules, in which case the material has low strength and stiffness and is susceptible creep deformation. Starting from the size sale of primary interest in engineering ,rough one meter ,there is a span of 10 orders of magnitude in size ,down to the sale of the atom ,which is around 10-10m .This situation and various intermediate size scales of interest are indicated in Fig.2.2.At any given size scale ,an understanding of the behavior can be sought by looking at what happens at a smaller scale ;The behavior of a machine ,vehicle ,or structure is explained by the behavior of its component parts ,and the behavior of these can in turn be explained by the use of small (10-1to 10-2m) test specimens ,and the materials .Similarly ,the macroscopic behavior of the material is explained by the behavior of crystal grains ,defects in crystals, polymer chains ,and other microstructure features that exist in size range of 10-3to 10-9m .Thus ,knowledge of behavior over the entire range of size from 1m down to 10-10m contributes to understanding and predicting the performance of machines ,vehicles, and structures .This chapter review some of the fundamentals needed to understand mechanical behavior of materials. We will start at the lower end of the size scale in Fig.2.2 and progress upward .The individual topics include chemical bonding ,crystal structures ,defects in crystals ,and the physical causes of elastic ,plastic ,and creep deformation .The next chapter will then apply these concepts in discussing each of the classes of engineering materials in more details .2.2 BONDING IN SOLIDSThese are several types of chemical bonds that hold atoms and molecules together in solids .Three types of bonds -ionic ,covalent ,and metallic -are collectively termed primary bonds ,Primary bonds are strong and stiff and do not easily melt with increasing temperature .They are responsible for the bonding of metals and ceramics ,and they provide the relaxing high elastic modules (E)in these materials .Van der Waals and hydrogen bonds ,which are relatively weak ,are called secondary bonds .These are important in determining the behavior of liquids and as bonds between the carbon-chain molecules in polymers .2.2.1 Primary Chemical Bonds The three types of primary bonds are illustrated in Fig .2.3.Ionic bonding involves the transfer of one or more elections between atoms of different types .Notes that the outer shell of electrons surrounding an atom is stable if it contains eight electrons (except that the stable number is two or the single shell of hydrogen or helium ),Hence ,an atom of the metal sodium ,with only one electron in its outer shell ,can donate an electron to an atom of chlorine ,which has an outer shell with seven electrons .After the reaction ,the sodium atom has an empty outer shell and the chlorine atom has a stable outer shell of eight elections .The atoms become charged ions ,such as Ma +and Cl -,which attract one another and form a chemical bond due to their opposite electrostatic charges .A collection of such charged ions ,equal numbers of each in this case ,forms an electrically neutral solid arrangement into a regular crystalline array ,as shown in Fig .2.4. The number of electrons transferred may differ from one .For example, in the salt MgCl2 and in that in the oxide MgO, two electrons are transferred from an Mg2+ ion. Ele
