Mechanical property definition: fracture with little permanent distortion Identify the material property corresponding to failure with small plastic deformation before fracture. Choose the correct option.

Difficulty: Easy

Brittleness
Ductility
Malleability
Plasticity

Correct Answer: Brittleness

Explanation:

ConceptBrittleness is the tendency of a material to fracture with little or no plastic deformation. Ductility and malleability imply significant plastic deformation (tension and compression, respectively).

Final AnswerBrittleness
