Design materials
• Function is supreme – Perform to requirements
– Durability – life span
– Product life cycle
Physical Properties
• Characteristics free from external influence– Melting point
– Density
– Moisture content
– Porosity
– Texture
– Phase
– Hardness
– Odor
Mechanical Properties
• Tensile• Compression• Torsion• Shear• Plasticity• Yield• Hardness• Ductility
Basic Types
• Hardwood– Stronger– Bold grain patterns– Toughness
• Softwood– Easy to machine– Less expensive– Provide contrast– Manmade products
Ceramics
• Non metallic• Inorganic
• High temperatures to manufacture
• Plastic before firing
Good tensile strength
High compressive strength
Chemically resistant
High dielectric properties
