Toughness is related to the area under the stress–strain curve. In order to be tough, a material must be both strong and ductile. For example, See more

Toughness can be determined by integrating the stress-strain curve. It is the energy of mechanical deformation per unit volume prior to … See more

Tensile toughness (or deformation energy, UT) is measured in units of joule per cubic metre (J·m ), or equivalently newton-metre per cubic metre … See more

The toughness of a material can be measured using a small specimen of that material. A typical testing machine uses a pendulum to … See more

An alloy made of almost equal amounts of chromium, cobalt and nickel (CrCoNi) is the toughest material discovered thus far. It resists fracturing … See more
