The ability of a metal to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing Toughness is usually measured by the energy absorbed in a notch impact test, but the area under the stress-strain curve in tensile testing is also a measure of toughness
The ability of the metal to absorb energy and to deform plastically during fracture Toughness values obtained in testing depend upon the test temperature, the rate of loading, the size of the test specimen, as well as the presence of a notch and its acuity
(Tgh) = a characters resistance to damage Characters with high Toughness take less damage from a given attack than characters with low Toughness
A property of wood that enables it to absorb a relatively large amount of energy, to withstand repeated shocks, and to undergo considerable deformation before breaking
the elasticity and hardness of a metal object; its ability to absorb considerable energy before cracking
The physical property of a metal that allows the metal to bend or stretch without breaking
A mechanical property of wood, or quality that enables the material to undergo considerable deformation before breaking, and results in a splintery failure upon rupture A tough wood will absorb a relatively large amount of energy, and will withstand repeated shocks without complete failure
A measure of a material's ability to absorb work, or the actual work per unit volume or unit mass of material that is required to rupture it Toughness is proportional to the area under the load-elongation curve from the origin to the breaking point
Property of resisting fracture or distortion Usually measured by impact test, high impact values indicating high toughness Capacity of a metal to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing Ability of a metal to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing It is usually measured by the energy absorbed in a notch impact test, but the area under the stress-strain curve in tensile testing is also a measure of toughness
