Materials

A material subjected to forces that tend to bend it is undergoing the constraint of:

• Shearing

• Torsion

• Tension

• Deflection

In this deformation, the constraint is so intense that the material breaks.

• Plastic

• Elastic

• Fracture

• Deflection

This material property is the ability to resist indentation or abrasion

• Elasticity

• Ductility

• Hardness

• Softness

This material property is the ability to carry electrical current

• Thermal Conductivity

• Electrical Conductivity

• Resistance to corrosion

• Electron Conductivity
