Yahoo has a "Answers" tab. People post random questions, and if you know the answer, well you help them out.
So here's one that I picked on:-

Describe erosion process in metals, solvent attack process in polymers and thermal shock process in ceramics?

And my answer:-

Erosion process in metals - well when any ferrous metals get wet, they rust. Rust tends to flake off, to the metal will with time get thinner / lighter / smaller. That's erosion.
Solvent attack in polymers - sound to me like a for of acid which will cause a polymer based product to deteriorate / lose it's consistency.
Shock process in ceramics - ah, that's easy. Ever drop a ceramic pot / vase / tea cup? See how, as soon as it hits the ground it breaks into little pieces? Well that's the shock process in play.
Good luck - now go read the material provided in class and see if i'm right or wrong!!!!
