Questions and Answers
Toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy without causing it to break.
True
Stiffness is the ratio of the steady force acting on an elastic body to the resulting displacement.
True
Resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy without creating a permanent distortion.
True

Study Notes
Material Properties
-
Toughness: Represents a material's capacity to absorb significant energy prior to fracturing; crucial for applications that endure impacts.
-
Stiffness: Defined as the ratio of applied steady force to the resultant displacement in an elastic material; indicates how resistant a material is to deformation.
-
Resilience: Reflects the ability of a material to absorb energy upon deformation and release it without any permanent changes; essential for materials that undergo cyclic loading.
-
Elasticity: Describes the capability of a material to revert to its initial shape and dimensions after the removal of deforming forces; a vital property for many structural materials.
-
Elastic Limit: Marks the maximum stress a material can withstand while still being able to return to its original form; exceeding this threshold results in permanent deformation.
