Material Properties
Sensory Properties
Sensory properties are those that stimulate our senses, such as color and odor.
Optical Properties
Optical properties describe how a material interacts with light. Materials are classified as:
- Opaque: Do not allow light to pass through.
- Transparent: Allow light to pass through and can be seen through clearly.
- Translucent: Allow light to pass through but cannot be seen through clearly.
Thermal Properties
Thermal properties describe a material's behavior when exposed to heat. They are classified as:
- Conductive: Allow heat energy to pass through (e.g., metal).
- Insulating: Do not allow heat energy to pass through (e.g., glass fiber).
Magnetic Properties
Magnetic properties are determined by a material's behavior in an... Continue reading "Understanding Material Properties and Mechanical Stress Tests" »
