Answer and Explanation

-Elastic Modulus is a measure of a material's resistance to being deformed elastically (i.e., temporarily) when a stress is applied to it. The elastic modulus of an object is defined as the slope of its stress–strain curve in the elastic deformation region.

-The yield strength is the stress corresponding to the yield point at which the material begins to deform plastically. The yield strength is used to determine the maximum allowable load in a mechanical component, since it represents the upper limit to forces that can be applied without producing permanent deformation.

-Tensile Strength is the maximum stress that a material can endure while being stretched or pulled before breaking.

-Resilience is the ability to absorb or avoid damage without suffering complete failure.

-Toughness is the ability of a material to receive energy & plastically deform without fracturing. It is the amount of energy a material can absorb before fracturing.

-Ductility is the ability of a material to undergo large plastic deformations prior to failure. It is the ability of a material to be hammered thin or stretched into wire without breaking.

-Hardness of a material is a measure of the resistance to localized plastic deformation, usually by either mechanical indentation, abrasion or penetration.
