New cards
Yield point
When the deformation is no longer entirely elastic (material extends rapidly).

Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS)
Maximum stress a material can withstand when being stressed before it breaks
4
New cards
Breaking strength
Stress value at point of fracture
5
New cards
Strong
A large value for the UTS
6
New cards
Stiff
Large Young’s Modulus value
7
New cards
Brittle
Elastic behaviour up to breaking point, without plastic deformation.
8
New cards
Polymeric
Consist of long polymer chains.
9
New cards
Limit of proportionality
The value of stress beyond which stress is no longer proportional to strain.
10
New cards
Tough
Needs a large stress to break and create a new fracture surface.
