Find the toughness (or energy to cause fracture) for a metal that experiences both elastic and plastic deformation. Assume Equation 7.5 for elastic deformation, that the modulus of elasticity is 172 GPa (25 × 106 psi), and that elastic deformation terminates at a strain of 0.01. For plastic deformation, assume that the relationship between stress and strain is described by Equation 7.19, in which the values for K and n are 6900 MPa (1 × 106 psi) and 0.30, respectively. Furthermore, plastic deformation occurs between strain values of 0.01 and 0.75, at which point fracture occurs.
