Introduction to Mechanical Properties of Materials

This blog will cover the following topics

1. Stress and strain states and bonding of materials
2. Rupture of brittle materials
3. Plastic deformation of crystalline materials
4. Strengthening mechanisms of metals
5. Elements of fracture mechanics
6. Fatigue of materials
7. Deformation and rupture of polymers
8. Deformation and rupture of composite materials

Some of the most spectacular mechanical property failure:

Concord Crash






Possible Cause:
This metal piece cut the the number 2 tyre of the plane
 And this piece was got from the runway when the plane is taking of.
