Materials science informs the selection and use of materials in structural design from "summary" of Structures by J. E. Gordon

Materials science plays a crucial role in the field of structural design by providing valuable insights into the properties and behavior of materials under various loading conditions. Engineers rely on materials science to make informed decisions about selecting the appropriate materials for a given structural application. By understanding the physical and mechanical properties of materials, engineers can optimize the performance and durability of structures while ensuring safety and reliability. The selection of materials in structural design is not arbitrary but is based on scientific principles and empirical data. Materials science helps engineers evaluate the strengths, stiffness, ductility, and other key properties of materials to determine their suitability for specific structural components. For example, in designing a bridge, engineers must consider factors such as the weight of the traffic, environmental conditions, and material fatigue to select the most appropriate mat...
