In plotting stress versus strain curves ...

In plotting stress versus strain curves for two materials P and Q, a student by mistake puts strain on the y-axis and stress on the x-axis as shown in the figure. Then the correct statement(s) is (are)

A

`P` has more tensile strength than `Q`

B

P is more ductile than Q

C

P is more brittle than Q

D

The Young's modulus of P is more than that of Q

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
Slope of this graph represents the reciprocal of Young's modulus.
since Slope of `P gt "Slope of " Q`
Hence Y of `P lt Y "of" Q`

Figure shows the relationship between tensile stress and strain for a typical material. Below proportional point A, stress is directly proportional to strain which means Young's moudulus (Y) is a constant. In this region the material obeys Hooke's law. Provided the strain is below the yield point 'B' the material returns to its original shape and size when the force is removed. Beyond the yield point, the material retains a permancnt deformation after the stress is removed. For stresses beyond the yeld point, the material exhibit plastic flow, which means that it continues to elongate for little increases in the stress. Beyond C a local constriction occurs. The material fractures at D (i.e. breaking point). The graph below shows the stress-strain curve for 4 different materials.
