Card 21 / 36: Which of the following best describes the difference between stiffness and strength in engineering usage?
A)
Strength refers to resistance to bending, and stiffness refers to resistance to compression.
B)
Strength refers to resistance to elongation, and stiffness refers to resistance to bending.
C)
Strength refers to the load required for material failure, and stiffness refers to the load required to produce a set deformation.
D)
Stiffness refers to resistance to shear, and strength refers to the load required to produce a set compression.
E)
Stiffness refers to the elastic response of a material, and strength refers to the plastic deformation of a material.
Answer:
C) Strength refers to the load required for material failure, and stiffness refers to the load required to produce a set deformation.
