Mechanical Properties of Materials
- Stiffness is the measure of a material's resistance to deformation under an applied load.
- Ductility is the property of a material that enables it to be drawn into wire without breaking.
- Plasticity is the property of a material that retains the deformation produced under load permanently.
- Strength is the ability of a material to resist externally applied forces without breaking or yielding.
- Hardness is a desirable property for tools and machines, as it enables them to withstand wear and tear.
Studying That Suits You
