Study Notes
Engineering Materials Properties
- Optical properties, electrical properties, thermal properties, and nuclear properties are considered properties of engineering materials.
Materials Engineers' Responsibilities
- Materials engineers are responsible for designing, developing, testing, and evaluating the materials used to create a wide range of products, from computer chips and medical devices to aircraft and automobiles.
Material Selection Criteria
- The classes of criteria for material selection are: functional requirements, aesthetics, cost, availability, sustainability, and manufacturability.
Purpose of Studying Material Properties
- The purpose of studying the properties of materials is to understand their behavior under various conditions, enabling the selection of materials that meet specific design requirements and constraints.
