Description
List of materials properties intensive,, often quantitative, material’s property is an intensive property of some some material. material. Quantitative Quantitative properties properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be assessed, thereby aiding in materials selection. selection.

Some materials properties are used in relevant equations to predict the attributes of a system a priori. priori. For example, if a material of a known specific heat gains or loses a known amount of heat, the temperature change of that material material can be determin determined. ed.

A property may be a constant a constant or or may be a func function tion of one or more independent more independent variables, variables, such as temperature. Materials properties often vary to some degree according to the direc directio tion n in the mater materia iall in whic which h they they are meas measure ured, d, a condition referred to as as anisotropy. anisotropy. Materials Materials properties that relate two different physical phenomena often behave linearly linearly (or (or approximately so) in a given operating range,, and may then be modeled as a constant for that range range. range.
