1 Module 5: Mechanical Properties January 29, 2010 Module Content: 1. Mechanical properties of material are usually measured by a tensile test, and are usually presented in a stress-strain plot. 2. The stress-strain plot reveals parameters such as the elastic modulus, yield strength, ultimate strength, and energy parameter such as resilience and toughness. 3. The stress-strain curve also reveals a great deal about the tension/compression and ductile/ brittle behavior of materials.

32 An Aside: The Titanic modern theories of why the Titanic was doomed after striking the iceberg nearly 100 years ago emphasize the metallurgy of the hull and rivet materials the composition of the steel used to construct the hull was a key player in the disaster--not the carbon content, but the sulphur content (which tends to make the steel brittle, especially in cold temperatures) hull buckling (from the Titanic historical society) MAE 2310 Str. of Materials E.
