The core concept of materials science relies on the inter-dependent relationship
among the structure, properties, performance, and processing which is represented
in a tetrahedron known as Materials Science Tetrahedron (MST), shown in
FIGURE Q1a. Using the concept of Materials Science Tetrahedron, answer the
following questions pertaining to the choice of materials for engine blocks. An example
of an engine block is shown in FIGURE Q1b.

- Let's translate and analyze the statements: The materials, for convenience, are separated into classes based on their constitution, arrangement of their atoms, and their properties. These classes, or groups, are: Metals or metallic materials. Ceramics or ceramic materials. Polymers or polymeric materials. Composites or composite materials. Each of these classes has materials with structures and properties different from the other classes. (CALLISTER JR., W. D.; RETHWISCH, D. G. Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction. 8th ed. Rio de Janeiro: LTC Publisher, 2013).
