TOUGHNESS & BRITTLENESS
1) If material fractures after a long concave portion of the curve, it donates that the material is tough & ductile.
2) If elastic portion of the curve is minimal, it shows the brittleness of the material.
STRENGTH & WEAKNESS
• If longitudinal portion of curve is long, it means that the material is strong.
• If longitudinal portion is short, it means that the material is weak.
HENCE FROM THE ANALYSIS OF THE STRESS STRAIN CURVE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT THE PROPERTIES OF A MATERIAL.
