In engineering and materials science a stress strain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain it is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation from which the stress and strain can be determined see tensile testing these curves reveal many of the properties of a material such as the young s modulus the yield strength.
Ceramics have a lower fracture toughness but show an exceptional improvement in the stress fracture that is attributed to their 1 5 orders of magnitude strength increase relative to metals.
A highly elastic polymer may stretch over 10 times the original length before breaking while a metal might elastically stretch 10 of the original length elastically and may stretch plastically to double the original length before reaching its fracture point.

A tensile test a compression test a bending test ceramics have a disposition to fail by cracking because of.
While some of the stress strain curves for polymers might look similar to ones for metals polymers are mechanically different than metals or ceramics.
Metals ceramics polymers metals are typically hard opaque shiny and have good electrical and thermal conductivity.
Stress strain response of two zirconia ceramics and compared that with the monotonic stress strain response.
Primarily differences are due to their different chemical bonding properties homework 1.
Brittle ceramic materials with little included plastic strain show a similar strain rate dependence for fracture stress 1窶 in the case of ceramics only a few dislocations exist in the original matrix and even this small number of faults d it.
Cracks cannot easily propagate in tough materials making metals highly resistant to cracking under stress and gives their stress strain curve a large zone of plastic flow.
The stress strain behavior of a variety of duplex ceramics was measured with the aid of strain gauges attached to the tensile surface of beams in four point flexure.

The difficulty for slip to occur low to no plasticity the higher density of flaws their high melting points a and b in ceramics strength.
These are size independent measures of load and displacement respectively.
For brittle ceramics a three point bending apparatus shown in the figure below is used determine the stress strain behavior and the measurement results are used to calculate an equivalent modulus of elasticity.
