Mechanical Properties of a Material

1. Strength

Its the ability of a material to show resistance to deformation


under the action of tensile or compressive or shearing forces
2. Hardness

Its the ability of a material to show resistance to penetration or


indentation.

PENETRATION: Penetration in material science typically


measures how far a material can be pierced, indented, or
damaged under force, temperature, or impact.31

INDENTATION: Indentation is a powerful, small-scale


mechanical testing method used to measure how a material
reacts to being pressed.

3. Toughness

Its the ability of a material to show resistance to fracture and


represented as the amount of energy that can be absorbed
before fracture

4. Brittleness
Its the property of a material to break under shock loads and it
also indicates the lack of ductility.
EXAMPLE: Glass,Ceramic,Cast Iron

1
5. Ductility
Its the measure of the deformation that can be withstand
before breaking.

6. Malleability

Its the ability of a material to be attend into thin sheets without


any structural breakdown.EXAMPLE: Lead can be attened to
thin sheets and be drawn into a wire.

Malleability Ductility

Ability to deform under the action of compressive force. Ability to deform under the action of tensile
forces

• Elasticity

Its the ability of a material to regain its original shape after the
removal of load.

• Plasticity

Its the ability to undergo some degrees of deformation without


failure.

• Rigidity
The resistance of a material to show undergo elastic
deformation.

• Resilience
Its the ability of a material to absorb energy when its deformed
elastically and upon unloading to have this energy recovered.

• Creep

Progressive deformation of a material under a static load


maintained for a long time.

• Fatigue

It is the strength of the material when subjected to cyclic or rapid


uctuating load conditions.
