Toughness is related to the area under the stress–strain curve.In order to be tough, a material must be both strong and ductile. For example, brittle materials (like ceramics) that are strong but with limited ductility are not tough; conversely, very ductile materials with low strengths are also not tough.

For example, if a flight booking reports that a seat has successfully been booked, then the seat will remain booked ...
A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.
Durability: a measure of the length of a product’s life. Serviceability : the speed with which the product can be put into service when it breaks down, as well as the competence and the behavior of the service person.
HexClad is known for creating "hybrid cookware," meaning it combines the durability of stainless steel with the convenience of nonstick. The brand is known — and named — for the unique steel ...
The durability design of reinforced concrete structures has been recently introduced in national and international regulations. It is required that structures are designed to preserve their characteristics during the service life, avoiding premature failure and the need of extraordinary maintenance and restoration works.
If you want the durability and toughness of a traditional all-leather hiking shoe, the Lowa Renegade Evo GTX is one of the best one around — and a personal favorite. The Renegade Evo has a ...
