Don't let materials science break you. An informative video explains the mechanical properties of materials. It uses a stress-strain diagram to discuss elasticity, hardness, toughness, creep strength, and fatigue strength. It also describes how to determine the modulus of elasticity. This is the 18th part of the Crash Course Engineering playlist.
