| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Elastic | After deformation will return to original shape |
| Plastic | After deformation will not return to its original shape |
| Elastic Limit | The force/change in x beyond which the material is permanently deformed |
| Stiffness | F=k x change in extension |
| Ductile | Can be pulled under a tensile force into a longer thinner shape |
| Malleable | Can be deformed under comprression, 'hammerable' |
| Strong | Requires a large force to break it |
| Strength | the force/unit area required to break |
| Brittle | Easily cracks with little deformation |
| Tough | Deforms Plastically. Rerquires a large force for a small deformation |
| Hard | Not readily scratched/ indented |
