Materials

Its ability to resist applied loads or stresses without failure, often expressed as yield or ultimate strength.

The ability of a material to undergo significant plastic deformation before fracture, often measured by percent elongation or reduction in area.

A material's resistance to localized plastic deformation, such as indentation, scratching, or abrasion.

The total energy a material can absorb before fracturing, represented by the area under the entire stress-strain curve.

The ability of a material to return to its original shape after the removal of an applied load, within the elastic limit.

The stress at which a material begins to deform plastically; beyond it, permanent deformation occurs.
