20 Mechanical Properties

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

The utility of any material for the performance of an engineering component depends on its mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, ductility, resistance to cyclic loads, and resistance to time-dependent strain, etc.

The strength of materials under various types of loading, such as tension, compression, twisting and bending has been discussed in this chapter.
Behaviour of the materials under impact loading is also an important parameter.
The behaviour of the materials under fatigue and creep loading conditions has been explained in detail.
