Materials Science: Mechanical Properties

This lecture introduces the mechanical properties of materials, focusing on plasticity, elasticity, and deformation. It covers topics such as tensile deformation stages, shear modulus, isotropic and anisotropic properties, work hardening, and energy dissipation in materials. The instructor explains the relationship between stress and strain, the influence of microstructural defects on material behavior, and the concept of ductility. Various exam formulas and constants are discussed to understand the mechanical behavior of metals and materials.
