What would happen if the force causing the deformation became greater?
The deformation would increase because the force increases.
What is a noun for brittle?
Brittle is an adjective. The noun form would be brittleness.
What do you mean by brittleness?
Aptness to break; fragility.
Would quartzite or sandstone break more easy?
A brittle material is one that fails by fracturing after only a very small amount of plastic strain has occurred. Sandstones tend to be made up of quartz and feldspars which are themselves brittle. However sandstone and many other materials are only thought of as brittle because we are used to dealing or working with them at the pressure and temperature conditions present at the Earth's surface and can actually be either brittle or ductile (significant plastic deformation can occur before ultimate rupture) depending on the temperature, confining pressure and strain rate applied to it. In general at low confining pressures and temperatures (i.e. near the Earth's surface), sandstone will fail in a brittle fashion. However as the temperature and or confining pressure increases it becomes increasingly ductile.
Is acrylic plastic breakable?
Acrylic plastic is actually quite strong Acrylic many times stronger than glass, making it much more impact resistant and therefore safer. Falling against an acrylic shower door will not likely break it. Baseballs that crash through glass windows will, in most cases, bounce off acrylic windows.
What is the difference between brittle and ductile with two examples of each?
Generally something that is brittle will not deform, or deform very little before it breaks, where as something that is ductile will deform a lot before it breaks. That is how it is when comparing steels. White cast iron has no ductility therefore it will break with little or no deformation, where as mild steel has higher ductility and will deform considerably before it breaks.
Why plastic deformation important in metal not in ceramics?
Plastic deformation in metal causes it to change shape, usually under stress such as a spinning turbine vane. Ceramics cannot deform, they are too hard and would shatter.
Would a salt react with plastic?
salt will react with rubber in the presence of heat, rubber can get brittle.
Difference between elastic and plastic deformation?
Elastic deformation returns to it's original shape after a strain is applied. Plastic deformation returns to a deformed shape after a strain is applied. The material's molecular bonds are strained to the point of fracture, making it not possible to return to the same state. Elastic deformation will return to its original shape. Plastic deformation is when you alter the original form. To understand more on this subject you might investigate failure analysis literature. Lots of good stuff there ratchet marks, beach marks, reverse bending etc... I believe the U.S. metallurgical society has the best reference material on this subject. A temporary shape change that is self-reversing after the force is removed, so that the object returns to its original shape, is called elastic deformation. In other words, elastic deformation is a change in shape of a material at low stress that is recoverable after the stress is removed. Examples would be the loading of a bridge or building support beam where the loads remain within the original design parameters, or the use of a safety pin where when it is opened it returns to it's unloaded shape. When the stress is sufficient to permanently deform the metal, it is called plastic deformation. Examples would be the building support beams for the twin towers, where the heat generated by the fires decreased the strength of the steel and allowed it to deform plastically, or the loads that are applied to a section of electrical conduit or mechanical piping in order to bend them into a specific shape. in elastic def. , the material returns to its original shape once force is removed. in plastic, the deformation is permanent and the material doesn't return to its original shape the elastic deformation happens in yield point and elastic deformation back to original size but plastic deformation will not back tto original size.
What would happen if the force causing the deformation became greater?
The deformation would increase because the force increases.
Would glass or plastic shelving be better in a freezer and can you explain your choice?
Plastic shelving would be better in a freezer than glass because the extreme cold would make the glass more brittle and thus more likely to break.
How would you explain a horizontal sedimentary rock layer containing Cambrian fossils lying on top of a rock layer containing Ordovician fossils?
The Adirondack rocks have been both severely folded and sheared by ductile deformation and shattered by brittle.
How would you use the word 'brittle' in a sentence?
Window glass is brittle.
What is a noun for brittle?
Brittle is an adjective. The noun form would be brittleness.
Is a brittle star a myriapod?
A Brittle star is not a myriapod. A Brittle star is an echinoderm. An example of a myriapod would be a centipede.
What is a sentence for brittle?
To be brittle is to be hard and breakable. An example sentence would be: The older she got, the more brittle her bones seemed to be.
Why do you use glass and not plastic to make windows?
Glass is more durable than plastic. Plastic is a porous material, which means with absorbs moisture and contaminants. Plastic will also deteriorate when exposed to sunlight. Basically a plastic window would turn yellow and become brittle after only a few years, where a glass window will remain clear and strong for a very long time.
