[20 Marks]
(ii) The Yield Strength
[5 Marks]
(iii) The maximum stress in the elastic region
[5 Marks]
(iv) The allowable stress with a safety factor of 1.1
[5 Marks]
(v) The ultimate strength of the material
[5 Marks]
(vi) The ductility of the materials
[10 Marks]
(vii)The energy generated for the elastic deformation
[10 Marks]
Creep is a continued increase in the strain of material with time under action of constant stress and it can be perfomed under different environmental temperatures. Complete figure Q 2 and explain briefly the effect of the temperature and the stress on the strain behaviour of metal materials.

Answer of O I-B

QI-c
You have learnt that the strength of the materials deteriorate under fatigue stress (reversible stress or fluctuated). Complete figure QI-C to show the strength behaviour of mild steel and aluminium metals at different reversible number of cycles.
