Engineering Materials
6 original lesson summaries in this topic collection.
Topic overview
- Strength is mode-specific: tensile, compressive or shear.
- Elastic deformation recovers; plastic is permanent; stiffness limits deflection.
- Ductility (wire) and malleability (sheet) are different; hardness resists wear.
- Toughness absorbs energy, brittleness fractures suddenly; select by each part’s demand.
