Title: Describe mechanical properties.
Course: Materials and Processes Technology (13052-18) > Section: Understanding Materials and Processes Technology Concepts

Description may include, but is not limited to

- stiffness in tension (i.e., Young’s modulus)
- tensile strength and tensile stress
- compressive strength
- shearing stresses and strains
- torsional strength
- ductility
- brittleness
- elasticity
- durability.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How is compressive strength measured?
- When might elasticity be a desirable mechanical property?
- How does the orientation of a material affect its strength?
