Question
Answer
Relative inability of a material to deform plastically   Brittleness  
🗑
Relative ability of a material to deform plastically under a tensile stress before it fractures   Ductility  
🗑
Deformation that is recovered upon removal of an externally applied force or pressure   Elastic strain  
🗑
Relative stiffness of a material; ratio of elastic stress to elastic strain   Elastic modulus (Modulus of elasticity or Young's modulus)  
🗑
The critical stress intensity factor at the beginning of rapid crack propagation in a solid containing a crack of known shape and size   Fracture toughness  
🗑
Resistance of a material to plastic deformation   Hardness  
🗑
Maximum amount of plastic strain a tensile test specimen can sustain before it fractures (See Ductility)   Percent elongation  
🗑
Deformation that is not recoverable when the externally applied force is removed   Plastic strain  
🗑
Force per unit area acting on the external surface of a material   Pressure  
🗑
Maximum stress at which stress is proportional to strain and above which plastic deformation occurs   Proportional limit  
🗑
The relative amount of elastic energy per unit volume released on unloading of a test specimen   Resilience  
🗑
Force per unit area within a structure subjected to an external force or pressure (See Pressure)   Stress  
🗑
Area or point of significantly higher stress associated with a structural discontinuity such as a crack or pore or a marked change in dimension of a structure   Stress concentration  
🗑
Change in length per unit initial length   Strain  
🗑
Increase in strength and hardness and corresponding decrease in ductility of a metal that is caused by plastic deformation   Strain hardening (Work hardening)  
🗑
Change in strain per unit time during loading of a structure   Strain rate  
🗑
Maximum stress that a structure can withstand without sustaining a specific amount of plastic strain (___A___) or stress at the point of fracture (___B___)   Strength; A=yield strength; B=ultimate strength  
🗑
Ability of a material to absorb elastic energy and to deform plastically before fracturing; measured as the total area under a plot of tensile stress vs. tensile strain   Toughness  
🗑
The stress at which a test specimen exhibits a specific amount of plastic strain   Yield strength  
🗑
