Lecture

Mechanical Properties of Materials: Elastic Limit and Dislocations

Description

This lecture introduces the mechanical properties of materials, focusing on the elastic limit and hardness. It covers topics such as the Young's modulus, types of defects in crystalline materials, dislocations, and the plasticity mechanisms of metals. The discussion includes the impact of dislocations on material deformation, the concept of shear rigidity, and strategies for strengthening materials by blocking dislocation movement.
