Topic: Material Science
The property of the material that represents maximum amount of strain energy that it can absorb before it fractures under load is called:
- A. Modulus of Resilience
- B. Modulus of Toughness
- C. Modulus of Elasticity
- D. None of the above
Answer: B. Modulus of Toughness
Explanation: The modulus of toughness is defined as the total area under the stress-strain curve up to the point of fracture. It represents the maximum amount of strain energy a material can absorb before breaking.
