AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the modulus of resilience for a material with varying grain diameters. Laboratory measurements indicate that yield strength increases with decreasing grain diameter, suggesting a relationship between grain size and material properties. The modulus of resilience can be calculated using the formula U = σ²/2E, where σ is the yield stress and E is the modulus of elasticity. However, the complexity of elastic resilience is highlighted, noting that factors like microstructure and deformation behavior must be considered. A thorough understanding of these dynamics is essential for accurate calculations.

Labratory measurements show that when a certain material has a grain diameter of 2.33x10-2 mm it's yield strength is 107 MPa. When the material's grain diameter decreases to 1.84x10-2 mm it's yield strength increases to 117 MPa.
When the average grain diameter is increased to 3.28x10-2 mm, what is the modulus of resilience (in J/m^3) if the modulus of elasticity is known to be 182 GPa?

any idea? I am stumped

Hi,

There is two questions.

1: Grain size may or may not affect in elastic modulus properties. In work hardening metals (like in some copper alloys) decreasing grain size may increase E a bit, not to mention effects of microstructure and residual stresses. How the grain size was decreased, or if the sample is different one. Not patronizing You, but make sure, and more importantly, make it real that you are looking at the right things. At first, does it matter that much. If it does, and the more it does, the more there is a need for normalizing properties of the material.

2: Elastic resilience (U) is usually far more complex issue than solving it by using just a single linear formula. The concept of "resilience modulus" has very dynamic nature.

But:

U = σ²/2E, where σ is (elastic) yield stress.

(it's the "Area" there)

One problem in this concept is that yield displacement should be defined somehow (and quite well, actually). Then, whatever would happen in the material during deformations having different displacements and speed (non-linear damping, fatigue), one should most preferably consider a bit more extensive study in kinematic properties of materials. Again, not patronizing You at all, just flashbackin' some bitter events in the past :).

Of course, if You are doing some rebound tests just for fun or class work, forget about it. Being too open-minded may cause that notorious brain spillage :)
 
Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...
Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
