elastic |
a material that deforms when a force is applied but which returns to its original shape when the force is removed |
|
Plastic |
a material that deforms when a force is applied and stays in its deformed shape when the force is removed |
|
Brittle |
breaks through crack propagation with little plastic deformation |
|
Ductile |
undergoes large plastic deformation under tensile forces |
|
Malleable |
undergoes plastic deformation under compressive forces |
|
tough |
a material that can absorb a lot of energy by plastic deformation before breaking |
|
Hard |
how resistant a material is to scratching |
|
stiff |
stiff materials require a lot of force for a little amount of deformation |
|
strong |
require large forces to break them |
