Material Sciences Flashcards
Involves investigating the relationship between the structure and properties of materials
Material sciences
Study about the structure, property correlation, designing or engineering structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of properties
Material engineering
Study about the structure, property correlation, designing or engineering structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of properties
Material engineering
Property of material where there is a deformation to an applied load or forces
Mechanical property
Property where electrical conductivity and dielectric constant, the stimulus is an electric field
Electrical property
Property where thermal behavior of solids can be represented in terms of heat capacity and thermal conductivity
Thermal property
Property where response of a material to the application of a magnetic field
Magnetic property
Property where the stimulus is electromagnetic or light radiation; index of refraction and reflectivity are representative of optical property
Optical property
Property where deteriorative characteristics relate to the chemical reactivity of materials
Deteriorative property
Materials which compose of one or more metallic components
Metals
Compounds between. Metallic and nonmetallic elements
Ceramic
Materials that include plastic and rubber materials; many are organic compounds
Polymer
Composed of 2 or more individual materials
Composite
materials that have electrical properties that are intermediate between electrical conductors and insulators
Semiconductors
Materials that are employed in components implanted into the human body for replacement
Biomaterials
