When mechanical components (like airplane fuselages or engine crankshafts) are subjected to repeated, cyclic loading and unloading, they can suddenly fail at stress levels well below their ultimate tensile strength. What is the name of this progressive structural failure phenomenon?
Fatigue failure (or Material Fatigue).

When a ductile material like steel is pulled in a tensile test, it deforms elastically at first and returns to its original shape. What is the specific point on the stress-strain curve called where the material permanently deforms and will no longer return to its original shape?
The Yield Point (or Yield Strength). Beyond this point, the material undergoes plastic deformation.
When an ice cube melts into a puddle of liquid water, does the entropy of those water molecules increase or decrease?
It increases. (In a solid ice cube, the water molecules are locked into a highly structured, orderly crystalline lattice. When it melts into a liquid, the molecules can break free, move around, and mix randomly, creating a more disordered state.)

Flywheels are heavy rotating discs used in mechanical systems to store rotational energy and smooth out power delivery. What intrinsic geometric property of the flywheel—which depends entirely on its mass distribution relative to the axis of rotation—measures its resistance to rotational acceleration?
