The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials and . It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material but are far apart for material . We can say that the materials and are likely to be (respectively):
- Aductile and brittle
- Bbrittle and ductile
- Cbrittle and plastic
- Dplastic and ductile
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Shutterstock Explore Brittle materials: Materials that break immediately after the elastic limit (fracture point is close to the ultimate strength point).Ductile materials: Materials that undergo a lot of plastic deformation before breaking (fracture point is far from the ultimate strength point).Thus, is brittle and is ductile.
