MATERIAL SCIENCE:
"Mechanical Properties"
ABOUT THIS LESSON: Material Science, Mechanical Properties
Lesson 7 of 33. This lesson presents some mechanical properties of solid materials such as stress, strain and hardness. Graphs are included which show how materials respond to stress and ultimately to failure.
Knowledge Check:
Would a very elastic material have a low or high modulus?
Describe tensile stress?
By looking at a break in the material, how can we tell if it is a brittle or ductile failure?
