Draw the diagram for compressive strength.

What is the following property? The ability to resist sliding forces on a parallel plane.

• compressive strength

• tensile strength

• shear strength

• bending strength

What is toughness?

Plasticity is the ability to be permanently deformed (shaped) and retain the deformed shape.

Give an example of a material that is ductile.

Give an example of an electrical insulator.
