You work as a material engineer at an aircraft development, manufacturing and maintenance company in the MENA region. Recently, the manufactured airplanes have been experiencing crashes after a couple of years in service. You have been assigned as a member in the investigation team to identify the main cause of the crashes. a) Discuss which hysteresis is better to be used with the AC generator in the airplane. b) In general, describe the structural, elasticity and electrical properties of copper and the PVC insulator (polymeric) with reference to their material properties. c) How metals and non-metals (ceramics and polymers) could be degraded?
