Understand the correlations between the structure and mechanical properties of materials

General information on the mechanical properties of materials
The main tests for access to mechanical properties: tensile tests, compression, bending, hardness, creep, fatigue, thermal and mechanical. Mechanisms of elastic and plastic deformation, rupture.
Methods to improve the mechanical properties of materials: structural defects, mechanical, thermal treatments.
