Lecture

Materials: from Chemistry to Properties

Description

This lecture covers the transition from chemistry to properties of materials, focusing on the selection and behavior of materials in mechanical engineering. Topics include material selection, durability risks, heat resistance, wear, and noise impact. The lecture also discusses the importance of understanding defects in materials, the mechanical properties influenced by atomic bonds, and the role of defects in material failure. Furthermore, it explores the relationship between energy, kinetics, and the behavior of materials during transformations. The lecture delves into the significance of material science in various applications, such as skiing equipment, and concludes with a discussion on testing materials for performance and user satisfaction.
