The document discusses various mechanical properties of materials including strength, ductility, brittleness, malleability, toughness, hardness, elasticity, plasticity, resilience, stiffness, fatigue, and creep. It provides definitions and examples for each property. Strength refers to the maximum stress a material can withstand before failure. Ductility means a material can undergo large plastic deformation, while brittle materials undergo low plastic deformation. Malleable materials can be pressed into thin sheets. Tough materials absorb energy before fracturing. Hard materials resist indentation and scratching.
