Question

The behaviour of the material is generally determined by its mechanical properties.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in an online interview.

My question is from Relationship between Tensile and Shear Yield Stress in chapter Types of Die & Metal Forming Processes of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

To explain I would say: The behaviour of the material is generally determined by its mechanical properties, when a material is subjected to different loading conditions like tensile load, compressive load etc. then properties like young’s modulus, various strengths, toughness, ductility etc. are determined, which are very important in design and manufacturing.
