Structural Materials includes ceramics, composite materials and metal alloys: Most metal alloys are highly crystalline. This crystalline nature is plays a key role to deform plastically and opposing failure under repeated mechanical loading. Some well-known examples of this are the alloys that are used in aircraft that can reimburse for deformation in high-speed flight, or bridges designed to bend in the wind.
