Question 1: In failure analysis of composite materials, what is the cause of delamination between layers?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Impact damage

Poor curing during manufacture

Moisture absorption

All of the above

Question 2: How does "Dimensional Stability Testing" impact the selection of materials for aerospace applications, particularly in high-precision components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Dimensional stability testing ensures that materials retain their shape and size under varying thermal and mechanical loads, critical for high-precision parts

Dimensional stability testing is unnecessary for components subjected to low mechanical stresses

Dimensional stability testing is irrelevant for materials exposed to static loads

Dimensional stability testing only applies to non-metallic materials

Question 3: In the context of aerospace materials, what is the primary reason for conducting a slow strain rate testing (SSRT)?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To evaluate fatigue behavior under low stress

To assess the material's hardness

To simulate stress corrosion cracking

To measure the material's yield strength

Question 4: What is the role of material fatigue testing in the development of aerospace components, and how is it applied during the design phase?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By performing accelerated cyclic loading tests to predict the material's endurance under operational conditions and inform design improvements

By excluding fatigue testing and focusing solely on material strength

By assuming fatigue will not affect the material during normal operation

By relying on static load testing and ignoring fatigue considerations

Question 5: What is the role of "Fractography" in failure analysis, and how does it help in determining the cause of material failure in aerospace?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Fractography involves analyzing the fracture surface of failed materials to identify the failure mechanism, such as fatigue or stress corrosion

Fractography is only useful for electrical systems, not structural components

Fractography is irrelevant when failure is due to thermal fatigue

Fractography only applies to metallic materials, not composites

Question 6: How does "Stress Corrosion Cracking" (SCC) contribute to material failure in aerospace applications, and what are its primary causes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

SCC is irrelevant in composite materials

SCC is only relevant for materials used in low-stress applications

SCC only affects materials exposed to high temperatures, not at ambient conditions

SCC occurs when a material is subjected to tensile stress and corrosive environments, leading to crack formation and propagation
