DEN218 Graphical communications in design and manufacture The exam will comprise 20 marks for multiple choice and

80 marks for short answers on the question paper. There will be no choice. The material examined will cover the whole materials and manufacture lecture series. Below are listed some example questions, which are typical of the material that will e included! 1. What is meant by yield strength of a material

2. Identify 3 ways in which a metal can be strengthened and explain how the increase in strength is achieved in each case

3. The modulus of diamond which is a form of carbon is approximately 1000 !a. The modulus of a typical thermoplastic polymer which is

primarily a long"chain molecule based on carbon chains is typically 1 # 2 !a. $xplain the difference in modulus values in terms of bonding in the material% the molecular structure and the arrangement of molecules in the solid material.
