Study Notes
Mechanical Properties of Materials
- Density of materials ranges from 2200 to 2500 kg/cm².
Elasticity
- The ability of a material to return to its original dimensions when the external applied load is removed.
- Occurs when the material is subject to external stress and then returns to its original shape once the stress is removed.
Plasticity
- The property that permits materials to undergo permanent change in shape without fracture.
- The material does not return to its original dimensions after the external applied load is removed.
Brittleness
- The property of a material that makes it fracture before much or no deformation is noticeable.
- Materials with high brittleness break or crack easily under stress.
Hardness
- The ability of a material to resist scratching, abrasion, and cutting.
- Hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to wear and tear.
Strength
- The resistance of a material to any applied forces.
- Measured in known stress units, such as pascals or pounds per square inch (psi).
