机械设计中应首先考虑材料的力学性能。通俗地讲力学性能决定了在多大和怎样形式的载荷条件下而不致于改变零件几何形状和尺寸的能力。 Mechanical Properties 材料的力学性能 Usually, materials’ mechanical properties are the first consideration in structural objects design, such as architectures, vehicles, machinery, utensils, tools, to name just a few, which always withstand loading/forces in service as prerequisite. The mechanical properties of a material are those properties that involve a reaction to an applied load. mechanical properties of a material are not constants and often change as a function of temperature, rate of loading, and other conditions. 材料在外加载荷(外力或能量)作用下或载荷与环境因素(温度、介质和加载速率)联合作用下表现出来的行为。 The mechanical properties of metals determine the range of usefulness of a material and establish the service life (without failures like deformation or fracture) that can be expected. --主要是指材料在力的作用下抵抗变形和开裂的性能。 1. Definitions of Mechanical properties /力学性能 The mon properties considered are strength, ductility, hardness, impact resistance, and fracture toughness. tensile test: Steady-state Mechanical Properties Under Uniaxial Tension Uniaxial Mechanical Response 静载单向静拉伸 Stress-Strain Curve Note: Engineering stress and strain 应力――应变曲线 Usually, four stages/segments Four stages/segments/四阶段: (oab)―Elastic deformation(弹性变形阶段) a: Pp b: Elastic Limit Pe the greatest stress that can be applied to a material without causing permanent deformation(不产生永久变形的最大抗力) oa段:△L∝ P Linear 直线阶段 ab段:极微量塑性变形(--%) .
