In failure analysis, the term 'striations' on a fracture surface is most definitively associated with which failure mechanism?
Question 2
3
What is the primary physical mechanism responsible for the phenomenon of work hardening (strain hardening) in a ductile metal?
Question 3
4
Which property is most directly related to a material's ability to absorb energy per unit volume without undergoing permanent deformation?
Question 4
5
A material's 'thermal shock resistance' parameter (R) is often expressed as R = (σ_f * (1-ν)) / (E * α), where σ_f is fracture strength, ν is Poisson's ratio, E is Young's modulus, and α is the coefficient of thermal expansion. For high thermal shock resistance, a material should ideally have which combination of inherent properties?
