Understanding Material Strength, Ductility and Toughness

Strength, ductility and toughness are three very important, closely related material properties. The yield and ultimate strengths tell us how much stress a material can withstand, and are often used to define failure.
Ductility tells us how much plastic deformation a material undergoes before fracture. Brittle materials fracture at very small strains, and can fail catastrophically.
Toughness tells us how much energy a material can absorb before fracture. It is closely linked to both strength and ductility.

Funny how KZbin taught me more than School

I JUST STARTED MY COURSE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND NOW THIS GREAT CHANNEL CAME OUT OF NO WHERE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOURE DOING

[@UNIQCREATOR]

#iheart_socks subs. My channel for variius such kind of topics.

[@ahmadzaher6562]

Yeah we need to know those as Chemical Engineers as well

[@benjaminshiflett8066]

Are you still in engineering school? Just curious.

[@raxirex6443]

did you finish your bachelors

[@ninasevilla3795]

finally, there's someone who can explain it more than our university professors

[@aryanvardhan809]

@REPUBBLICA ITALIANA No, the key difference is that visualization is great tool for learning such concepts that most professors don't use effectively.

[@mediwise2474]

Sir I want to learn statics and mechanics what kind of maths is required

[@elvindoora]

my teacher uses these videos as his teaching method :D

[@dj_b1627]

Even as an engineer I have to say that your videos are very good. Obviously at university you will get a very detailed view of these topics but you summarize them very well.

[@sk-7523]

I have no words to express how grateful I am for your work. Thank you very much. Please don't stop making these awesome videos ever! I am subscribing to get instant notifications!

[@Snuni93]

I am so hyped, that someone as skilled as you is finally tackling engineering courses. Your channel will escalate (hopefully very soon) if you can keep this up :)

[@GenaEnSamIAm]

Agreed! @The Efficient Engineer , Structural engineering fan in lock down here. I enjoy your content so much. Thank you :-)

[@_Wai_Wai_]

Soon, brick and mortar schools will go away. As they are inefficient and ineffective. Not to mention expensive.

[@instantkarmachannel4155]

This certainly aged well

[@NnIiCcKk1]

Yoooo if your name is pronounced as snān then it means bath in hindi

[@ahmedelfathih6322]

As a visual learner I find this channel very helpful. We really appreciate what you are doing. As these concepts are hard to understand but you made look so easy.

[@achyuth_rj]

Great video! As somebody with a fluid/thermal focus during my masters, this is really helping me brush up on solid mechanics knowledge, and far better than it was ever taught to me.

[@Freshboyarly]

This channel has never disappointed us. The work here is magnificent.

[@nimadabiri]

Easy to follow description along with a beautiful visual presentation. Great Job! You have a thumb up.

[@GeniusEngineering]

Great overview of these important material properties. Simple and understandable animations along with a great verbal description.

[@vnkamath97]

a big thanks for explaining the concepts with animation. Keep making engineering videos which will help us for sure and im sure that u will get subscribers soon :)

[@babajungLA]

Wow! I spent a whole semester in College learning about materials...I had a tough time grasping basic concepts for some reason...Wish I had videos like this to illustrate how easy the fundamentals are to understand! Amazing Work.

[@henrybristow1928]

All of these videos are really helping me with my IB Extended Essay, thank you so much!

It has been so helpful to use internet for studying as I per take my diploma in Civil Engineered in Thika Technical Training Institute

[@rahmanrahmani2896]

All your videos related to the strength of material are excellent in terms of contents and presentation. Thank you!!!

In this way, you showed us that we should not afraid to understand complex and abstract things. Thank you!

[@jesseycordero7680]

Finally someone has created excellent engineering videos. I am studying for the PE in CA and have had a difficult time finding quality youtube videos explaining some basic concepts. This channel is fantastic! Keep up the work.

[@TheEfficientEngineer]

Thank you!

[@alexhauptman2239]

Great animations, they really help with the concepts and are fun to watch

[@olynikac]

Current mechanical engineering student here. These videos are immaculate. Well done!

[@bhaskarpaliwalbp]

You are doing a great work. Your content is amazing and super high quality. I wish you all the best for your future.

[@ronmoore6598]

Excellent overview! I didn't remember learning about resilience in school so learned something new there. A small discussion on Bulk Modulus would have fit in well here. It almost seems we could use videos like this instead of classroom teaching. Time to get with the new millenium.

[@SayedTaha]

No word describes how thankful I am ,, very brilliant way and clear information

[@hamedmaher8617]

Never heard of such explanation in Uni, this video is amazing good on you.

Soooo Greattttt.... Watching this makes me realize how inefficient most teachers at colleges really are.... (no offence)

[@_Wai_Wai_]

Soon, brick and mortar schools will go away. As they are inefficient and ineffective. Not to mention expensive. I feel like many professors just parrot the previous explanation that was made to them, without realizing that many of the concepts need a slight adjustment in the explanation.

[@kewGarden]

@潘峰威 Funny how people who say that tend to be the bad students.

[@r3sherakoraman]

I loved thus video..trying to understand these from ages,..your presentation made it easier to understand and remember

[@weiwang5455]

A couple of years ago, in a musty little shop i found a book on mathematics for engineers. I was so delighted to thumb through and see the formulas that i had applied in my career. Your channel gives me that same delight. Subscribed!

Really glad to hear it, thank you!

[@aryanvardhan809]

Which branch of engineering did you practice?

[@mamba0011]

Can you tell the name of book

[@messileo7231]

No one thought me this in University. All they knew and though us was Ductility is able to draw wire. Please keep doing such videos.

[@burhanurrehman2918]

correction at @04:06 "fracture at strain at less than 5 percent" instead of "strain at fracture of less than 5 percent" Thanks for your hard work in making these videos

[@adamroer3908]

@The Efficient Engineer would you be interested in doing a video elaborating more on cracking and fracture? Perhaps a video about the parameters (which i am currently studying and getting a bit confused by!): G - Energy release rate G_1c Linear Elastic Fracture J - Elastoplastic energy release rate J_1c Elastoplastic fracture?
