Compression Strength

Compression tests are used to obtain compressive strengths.


Buckling and bulging can be problematic.
For ductile materials, compressive strengths are usually about
the sameas tensile strengths,S,.=S,,,.
For brittle materials, compressive strengths, S.,., are often

greater than tensile strengths, S,,,.


Torsional Strengths

Torsional strengths are found by twisting solid circular bars.


Results are plotted as a torque-twist diagram.
Shear stressesin the specimen are linear with respect to the radial
location — zero at the center and maximum at the outer radius.

Maximum shear stressis related to the angle of twist by

Strengths from Tables

e Property tables often only report a single value for a strength


term

e Important to check if it is mean, minimum, or some percentile


e Common to use 99% minimum strength, indicating 99% of the
samples exceed the reported value
Hardness

e Hardness—The resistanceof a material to penetrationby a


pointed tool
e Two most common hardness-measuringsystems
° Rockwell

> A, B, and C scales


> Specified indenters and loads for each scale
- Hardness numbers are relative

° Brinell

* Hardness number #7, 1sthe applied load divided by the


spherical surface area of the indentation
Strength and Hardness

e For many materials, relationship between ultimate strength and


Brinell hardnessnumber is roughly linear
e For steels

[Link] kpsi
= (2-21)
3.4Hp MPa

e For cast iron

0.23Hp — 12.5 kpsi

|. 5S8Hp — 86 MPa

Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design


Example 2-2
It is necessary to ensure that a certain part supplied by a foundry always meets or
exceeds ASTM No. 20 specifications for cast iron (see Table A—24).What hardness
should be specified?

Solution
From Eq. (2-22), with (S,)min= 20 kpsi, we have

Fe ee
0.23 0.23

If the foundry can control the hardness within 20 points, routinely, then specify
145 < Hg < 165. This imposes no hardship on the foundry and assuresthe designer
that ASTM grade 20 will always be supplied at a predictable cost.
