= G , ( shear )
E and G are proportionality constants that may be
likened to spring constants.
4. Shear strength. Shear strength is the maximum shear
stress a material can withstand before failure. It's relevant
for materials subjected to parallel forces acting in opposite
direction.

5.Yield strength is the stress at which a material begins to
deform plastically (i.e., it doesn't return to its original shape
after the load is removed.
6. Ultimate tensile strength is the maximum stress a material
can withstand before it fails.
7. Ductility is the ability of a material to undergo substantial
plastic deformation before rupture or rupture.
8. Brittle fracture. Brittleness is the tendency of a material to
fracture without significant plastic deformation. Brittle fracture
in real materials, elastic behaviour does not persist indefinitely.
Microscopic defects, which are present in all real materials
will eventually begin to grow rapidly under the influence of
the applied tensile or shear stress, and the specimen will fail
suddenly by brittle fracture. The stress at which failure
occurred is called fracture stress.
9.Toughness measures a material's ability to absorb energy
before fracture. It is the area under the stress-strain curve
up to the point of fracture. Tough materials can withstand
impact or shock loading without breaking, Fracture toughness
resistance to crack propagation.
10. Compressive strength. This is the maximum compressive
stress a material can withstand before failure. It's relevant
for materials subjected to compression forces
11. Fatigue resistance. This property describes a material's ability
to withstand cyclic loading without failure. It's crucial for
materials subjected to repeated stresses over time.
12. Creep resistance. Creep is the gradual deformation of a
material under a constant load over time. Creep resistance is
important for materials used in long-term application
13. Hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to localized
plastic deformation (e.g., indentation or scratching). It can
provide information about wear resistance
