Materials Science and Engineering Fundamentals

To ignore why materials fail unexpectedly

To design only new materials without understanding existing ones

To promote the use of materials without optimizing their properties

To understand the fundamental physical origins of material behavior (correct)

By optimizing properties through structure modification and processing (correct)

By focusing solely on why materials unexpectedly fail

By ignoring the structure modification and processing

By designing new materials without understanding existing ones

To optimize properties and understand why some materials fail unexpectedly (correct)

To only design new materials without understanding existing ones

To overlook the reasons for material failures

To avoid modifying material structures
