INTRODUCTION
The data and information in this booklet have been collected for use in the Materials Courses in
Part I of the Engineering Tripos (as well as in Part II, and the Manufacturing Engineering
Tripos). Numerical data are presented in tabulated and graphical form, and a summary of useful
formulae is included. A list of sources from which the data have been prepared is given below.
Tabulated material and process data or information are from the Cambridge Engineering Selector
(CES) software (Educational database Level 2), copyright of Granta Design Ltd, and are
reproduced by permission; the same data source was used for the material property and process
attribute charts.
It must be realised that many material properties (such as toughness) vary between wide limits
depending on composition and previous treatment. Any final design should be based on
manufacturers or suppliers data for the material in question, and not on the data given here.

E f = Youngs modulus of fibres

y = yield stress of matrix
DISLOCATIONS AND PLASTIC FLOW
The force per unit length F on a dislocation, of Burgers vector b , due to a remote shear stress
, is F = b . The shear stress y required to move a dislocation on a single slip plane is
y =
cT
bL
L = inter-obstacle distance
c = constant ( c 2 for strong obstacles, c < 2 for weak obstacles)
The shear yield stress k of a polycrystalline solid is related to the shear stress y required to
move a dislocation on a single slip plane: k 32 y .
The uniaxial yield stress y of a polycrystalline solid is approximately y = 2 k , where k
is the shear yield stress.
Hardness H (in MPa) is given approximately by: H 3 y .
Vickers Hardness HV is given in kgf/mm2, i.e. HV = H / g , where g is the acceleration due
to gravity.

Plane strain fracture toughness and toughness are thus related by: K IC =

Note that K IC (and G IC ) are only valid when conditions for linear elastic fracture mechanics
apply (typically the crack length and specimen dimensions must be at least 50 times the process
zone size).
In the above:
= remote tensile stress
a = crack length
Y = dimensionless constant dependent on geometry; typically Y 1
K IC = plane strain fracture toughness;
G IC = critical strain energy release rate, or toughness;
E = Youngs modulus

f = failure strength

FATIGUE

Coffin-Manson Law (low cycle fatigue):

Goodmans Rule. For the same fatigue life, a stress range operating with a mean stress m ,
is equivalent to a stress range o and zero mean stress, according to the relationship:

Figure 3.2: Failure strength, f , against density, . Failure strength is defined as the tensile
elastic limit (usually yield stress) for all materials other than ceramics, for which it is the
compressive strength. The design guide-lines assist in selection of materials for minimum weight,
strength-limited design. (Data courtesy of Granta Design Ltd)

Figure 3.3: Youngs modulus, E , against failure strength, f . Failure strength is defined as
the tensile elastic limit (usually yield stress) for all materials other than ceramics, for which it is
the compressive strength. The design guide-lines assist in the selection of materials for maximum
stored energy, volume-limited design. (Data courtesy of Granta Design Ltd)

Figure 3.4: Fracture toughness (plane strain), K IC , against failure strength, f . Failure
strength is defined as the tensile elastic limit (usually yield stress) for all materials other than
2
/ 2f , which is
ceramics, for which it is the compressive strength. The contours show K IC
approximately the diameter of the process zone at a crack tip. Valid application of linear elastic
fracture mechanics using K requires that the specimen and crack dimensions are large compared
to this process zone. The design guide-lines are used in selecting materials for damage tolerant
design. (Data courtesy of Granta Design Ltd)

Figure 3.5: Maximum service temperature. The shaded bars extend to the maximum service
temperature materials may be used safely for all temperatures up to this value, without
significant property degradation. (Note: there is a modest range of maximum service
temperature in a given material class not all variants within a class may be used up to the
temperature shown, so caution should be exercised if a material appears close to its limit).

To convert row unit to column unit, multiply by the number at the column-row intersection, thus
1 MN/m2 = 10 bar
