  2. Toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toughness

    Toughness is the strength with which the material opposes rupture. One definition of material toughness is the amount of energy per unit volume that a material can absorb before rupturing. This measure of toughness is different from that used for fracture toughness, which describes the capacity of materials to resist fracture. [2]

  3. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The strength of materials is determined using various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts. The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus ...

  4. Elastic properties of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_properties_of_the...

    Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.

  5. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    Toughness as defined by the area under the stress–strain curve. Materials that are both strong and ductile are classified as tough. Toughness is a material property defined as the area under the stress-strain curve. Toughness can be determined by integrating the stress-strain curve. [3]

  6. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of the stress (force per unit area) applied to the object and the resulting axial strain (displacement or deformation) in the linear elastic region of the material. Although Young's modulus is named after the 19th-century British scientist Thomas Young, the concept was developed in 1727 by Leonhard Euler.

  7. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    Flexural modulus; Flexural strength: Maximum bending stress a material can withstand before failure (MPa) Fracture toughness: Ability of a material containing a crack to resist fracture (J/m^2) Friction coefficient: The amount of force normal to surface which converts to force resisting relative movement of contacting surfaces between material ...

  8. Flexural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_strength

    The flexural strength is stress at failure in bending. It is equal to or slightly larger than the failure stress in tension. Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test. [1]

  9. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    Fracture toughness tests are performed to quantify the resistance of a material to failure by cracking. Such tests result in either a single-valued measure of fracture toughness or in a resistance curve. Resistance curves are plots where fracture toughness parameters (K, J etc.) are plotted against parameters characterizing the propagation of ...
