This lecture covers the basics of materials science, focusing on mechanical properties such as elasticity, ductility, and toughness. It discusses the behavior of materials under static stress, plastic deformation, and work hardening. Case studies on material selection for pressure tanks are presented, emphasizing factors like crack propagation, stress limits, and material stability.
