Materials Keyword Definitions 5.0 / 5 based on 1 rating ? EngineeringUnit 1ASEdexcel Created by: EnchantedSwift13Created on: 25-11-15 10:58 10963452178 Across 1. The resistance of a material to breaking under tension. (E.g. in a building the roof will be made of steel because it has a high tensile strength) (7, 8) 5. The ability of a material to withstand sudden loading. (E.g. glass is hard, but if you hit it with a hammer it would smash). Measured in MN/m^2. (9) 6. Unable to bend or be forced out of shape; not flexible. (5) 7. The ability to be drawn into threads or wires. (9) 8. The ability to deform under load and return to its original shape. (10) Down 2. The tendency to break easily or suddenly with little or no extension, e.g. glass. (11) 3. The mass per unit volume. Measured in kg/m^3. (7) 4. How strongly a material opposes the flow of electrical current. Measured in Ω∙m (ohm metre) (11) 9. The ability to withstand scratching or indentation - indication of wear resistance of a material. (8) 10. The resistance of a material to breaking under compression. (E.g. in a building the walls will be made of concrete because they have a high compressive strength). (11, 8)
