Properties of Materials
Mechanical Properties: strength, toughness,
ductility, hardness, elasticity, fatigue, creep.
Types of Materials
Ferrous Metals: iron and steel.
Composite materials: reinforced plastics, metalmatrix and ceramic-matrix composites, honeycomb structures.
Automotive: aluminum engine blocks, copper wiring, mag wheels Marine: brass/bronze fittings, bearings, propellers
Defense: brass shell casings Consumer Products: electrical wiring, utensils, jewelry, electronics
Plastics (Polymers)
Compared to metals, plastics have lower density, strength, elastic modulus, and thermal and electrical conductivity, and a higher coefficient of thermal expansion The design of plastic parts should include considerations of their low strength and stiffness, and high thermal expansion and low resistance to temperature.
Plastics: Applications
Architectural: electrical and thermal insulation, weather seals, carpets, wall coverings, paint Aerospace: electrical and thermal insulation, instrument panels,upholstery, seals Automotive: body panels, instrument panels, upholstery, electrical and thermal insulation, seals, hoses, tires
Consumer Products: toys, sporting goods, appliances, tools, utensils, clothing, shoes, packaging
