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.
Test your knowledge on the mechanical properties of metals including static strength, stiffness, and elasticity. Learn about the ability of materials to resist external forces, retain their shape after deformation, and measure stiffness with the modulus of elasticity.
