Problem 184 The material described by the stressstrain diagr

Problem 18-4 The material described by the stress-strain diagram below may be described as (A) soft and weak (B) weak and brittle (C) strong and tough (D) hard and strong

Solution

option B is correct. This is weak as the stress value is very low in the stress strain diagram and brittle as there is no indication of the failure before fracture hence option b is correct.
