However, the composite material as a whole may behave differently from either of its parts.

It must be admitted that magnetic materials behave most unreasonably.

Much engineering design is based on the assumption that materials behave elastically.

Some design is based on the assumption that materials will behave plastically.

This information can then be used to figure out, for example, how a particular material will behave under certain conditions.

Follow up work hasn't been able to determine whether these materials behave the same as their more familiar cuprate cousins.

The cell can therefore be pressurised to study how materials behave under high pressure.

When in contact with water, however, the materials behave quite differently.

There is very limited data on how these materials behave when they fall to Earth.

In reality most materials behave quite independently of initial conditions.
