This set of Manufacturing Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Mechanical Properties”.

1. Resistance of a material against any external force is termed as _______________
a) Stiffness
b) Malleability
c) Strength
d) Hardness
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Strength is that mechanical property of a material by virtue of which it resists change in its dimension shape and any failure by application of any external force.

2. The property of a material to resist any elastic deformation is termed as ____________
a) Stiffness
b) Hardness
c) Malleability
d) Strength
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The ability of a material or shape to resist elastic deflection is termed as stiffness of that material.

3. Resistance developed by surface of any material is known as ____________
a) Strength
b) Hardness
c) Stiffness
d) Creep
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Hardness is a surface property. Resistance developed by surface of any material is known as hardness.

4. Permanent deformation of material with respect to time due to constant load and variable temperature is termed as ____________
a) Elasticity
b) Isotropy
c) Hardness
d) Creep
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Creep is time and temperature dependent phenomenon. With the passage of time and other environmental condition, material may lead to fracture point.

5. Material having same identical values a property in all directions can be termed as ____________
a) Creep
b) Anisotropy
c) Isotropy
d) Orthotropic
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Isotropic materials have the same property in all directions. Crystalline substance is isotropic in nature.

9. In which of the following test specimen is in the form of cantilever beam?
a) Izod test
b) Rockwell hardness test
c) Charpy test
d) Brinell test
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Izod test is like Charpy test, but the Izod geometry consists of a cantilever beam with the notch located on the same side as the impact point.
