describe material's response to forces like tension and compression

Mechanical properties refer to the characteristics of a material that describe its behavior under various types of force or load. These properties include strength, elasticity, hardness, and toughness, and they determine how a material responds to mechanical stresses such as tension, compression, and shear. For example, in the context of hair, mechanical properties would influence how hair withstands brushing, styling, and environmental factors without breaking or becoming damaged.
