Q

What makes something ductile ?

A

Large plastic region.

17
Q

What makes something brittle ?

A

Very small plastic region.

18
Q

What is the area between the loading and unloading curve ?

A

Work done in causing permanent deformation / energy transferred to thermal.

19
Q

Why is rubber a unique material ?

A

Its stiffness is always changing
doesn’t get plastically deformed.
area between loading and unloading curves is wasted energy converted into thermal energy.
