| Summary: | The mechanical and stability testing of aerospace materials plays a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and reliability of components utilized in the demanding environment of aerospace applications. Aerospace materials, including metal, composites, and polymers, are subject to extreme temperatures, high pressures, vibrations, and cyclic loading during their operational lifespan. The objectives of the mechanical and stability testing of aerospace materials are to identify the significance of performance-based metals in the aerospace industry and the critical role they play in ensuring the safety and reliability of critical structural body frames, and to identify the different prescriptive approaches used to evaluate the performance of performance-based metals, including standards, regulation, and testing. In conclusion, by evaluating mechanical properties, material stability, and potential failure mechanisms, engineers and researchers can make informed decisions in material selection, design, and maintenance, ultimately elevating the overall performance and longevity of aerospace systems. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
