In materials science and metallurgy, toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing.^[1] One definition of material toughness is the amount of energy per unit volume that a material can absorb before rupturing. It is also defined as a material's resistance to fracture when stressed.

Toughness requires a balance of strength and ductility.^[1]

Mathematical definition

Toughness can be determined by integrating the stress-strain curve.^[1] It is the energy of mechanical deformation per unit volume prior to fracture. The explicit mathematical description is:

where

is strain
is the strain upon failure
is stress

Another definition is the ability to absorb mechanical energy up to the point of failure. The area under the stress-strain curve is called toughness.

If the upper limit of integration up to the yield point is restricted, the energy absorbed per unit volume is known as the modulus of resilience. Mathematically, the modulus of resilience can be expressed by the product of the square of the yield stress divided by two times the Young's modulus of elasticity. That is,

Modulus of resilience = {{sfrac|Yield stress²|2 (Young's modulus)}}

Toughness tests

The toughness of a material can be measured using a small specimen of that material. A typical testing machine uses a pendulum to strike a notched specimen of defined cross-section and deform it. The height from which the pendulum fell, minus the height to which it rose after deforming the specimen, multiplied by the weight of the pendulum is a measure of the energy absorbed by the specimen as it was deformed during the impact with the pendulum. The Charpy and Izod notched impact strength tests are typical ASTM tests used to determine toughness.

Unit of toughness

Tensile toughness (or, deformation energy, U_T) is measured in units of joule per cubic metre (J·m⁻³) in the SI system and inch-pound-force per cubic inch (in·lbf·in⁻³) in US customary units.

1.00 N·m.m⁻³ ≃ {{gaps|0.000|145}} in·lbf·in⁻³ and 1.00 in·lbf·in⁻³ ≃ 6.89 kN·m.m⁻³.

In the SI system, the unit of tensile toughness can be easily calculated by using area underneath the stress–strain (σ–ε) curve, which gives tensile toughness value, as given below:^[2]

U_T = Area underneath the stress–strain (σ–ε) curve = σ × ε

U_T [=] Pa × ΔL/L = (N·m⁻²)·(unitless)

U_T [=] N·m·m⁻³

U_T [=] J·m⁻³

Toughness and strength

Toughness can also be defined with respect to regions of a stress–strain diagram. 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. To be tough, a material should withstand both high stresses and high strains. Generally speaking, strength indicates how much force the material can support, while toughness indicates how much energy a material can absorb before rupturing.
