• Identify what are mechanical properties of AB materials

• Know the purposes

• Know the different properties

INTRODUCTION

The mechanical properties of materials define the behavior of materials

under the action of external forces called loads. There are a measure of
strength and lasting characteristics of the material in service and are of good
importance in the design of tools, machines, and structures. The mechanical
properties of a material are those properties that involve a reaction to an
applied load. The mechanical properties of metals determine the range of
usefulness of a material and establish the service life that can be expected.
Mechanical properties are also used to help classify and identify material. The
most common properties considered are strength, ductility, hardness, impact
resistance, and fracture toughness. AB materials such as physical, electrical,
mechanical, rheological, thermal and optical. These properties is necessary in
the design, management and operation of agricultural equipment employed in
the pre and postharvest processes. The basic knowledge on these properties
are of great importance for agricultural and biosystems engineers towards
efficient process and equipment development. Among the main goals of this
course are to identify engineering properties of agricultural and food materials,
explain related measurement methods, and relate engineering properties of
agricultural and food materials to process design and quality control.

DEFINITION OF KEYWORDS
  Engineering properties- considered broadly, are physical, chemical, and
biological characteristics that are observable, measureable, and influence
behavior to the extent that they are important in engineering analyses and
design, and in performance of components, systems, or processes.

 Loads-  Weight or source of pressure borne by someone or something.

Construction Loads are loads imposed on a completed or temporary structure
during and as a result of the construction process.

 Structure- any system that resists vertical or horizontal loads.

DISCUSSION

The Mechanical properties of engineering materials are those that

influence their mechanical strength and capacity for shaping into a desired
shape." Or in other words, "Mechanical properties are physical properties that
a material exhibits upon the application of forces”. Everything we use daily
may be modified to work in particular situations. This can be done effectively if
we know each material's characteristics beforehand. Significant materials'
properties have been tested to classify them into broad groupings. Product
designers can use the information from a description of some typical
mechanical and physical properties to help them choose the right materials for
a particular application.
 A material's property is an intensive attribute of some material and
independent of the material's quantity. Some important Mechanical properties
of engineering materials are:

Strength

A material's ability to resist deformation or breakdown in the presence of loads

or external forces is known as strength. The materials we choose for our
engineering goods must be sufficiently strong mechanically to function under
various mechanical forces or loads.

Hardness

Hardness is one of the important properties among the mechanical properties

of engineering materials which enables the material to offer resistance to
localized permanent deformation and scratches. Numerous applications of
engineering design make use of hardness. This characteristic is crucial since it
directly affects the functionality and appropriateness of the material.

Toughness

A material's ability to absorb energy and undergo plastic deformation without

fracturing is known as toughness. The amount of energy in a given volume
determines its numerical value. Joules/m3 is the unit of toughness. Stress-
strain properties of a material can be used to calculate a material's toughness
value. Materials need to be strong and ductile to be tough. Impact testing
equipment is used to determine a metal's toughness.

Brittleness

A material's brittleness refers to how easily it fractures under the influence of a

force or load. When brittle material is stressed, it experiences very little energy
and cracks without experiencing a lot of strain. The opposite of a material's
ductility is brittleness. Material brittleness is temperature-dependent. Some
metals that are ductile at room temperature become brittle at low
temperatures.
Ductility

A solid material's ductility is a property that describes how easily it deforms

when subjected to tensile stress. The capacity of a substance to be drawn or
pulled into a wire is a common way to classify ductility. This mechanical
quality, which is temperature-dependent, is also a component of a material's
plasticity. The ductility of a substance increases with temperature.

Malleability

A solid material's malleability refers to how quickly it can distort when

subjected to compressive stress. The ability of a material to be rolled or
hammered into a thin sheet is a common way to classify malleability. This
mechanical quality is a component of the material's plasticity. Temperature
affects a material's malleability. The malleability of the material rises as the
temperature rises.

CONCLUSION

AB Engineering Materials are substances employed as raw materials for

any construction or organized production for an engineering application.
Materials are classified according to their characteristics. They possess
qualities such as magnetism, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, stiffness,
hardness, and thermal conductivity, among others. Among various properties
of materials, the Mechanical properties of engineering materials tell the
response of material against applied load.
