Structure of MaterialsCovers the structure of metallic alloys, ceramics, and organic materials, including crystalline structures and defects in crystals.
Thermal Properties of MaterialsExplores the effect of temperature on materials, thermal expansion, and thermomechanical constraints, leading to practical consequences.
Vickers Hardness TestDiscusses the Vickers hardness test procedure and interpretation of results compared to other hardness tests.
Elasticity and DeformationCovers elasticity, deformation, stress-strain relationships, anisotropy, measurement methods, yield strength, and energy storage in materials.
Mechanisms of Metal PlasticityExplores metal plasticity mechanisms, including hardening by solid solution and precipitation, dislocation forests, and polymer behavior in relation to temperature and deformation speed.
