For Toughness we have terms and definitions in 3 topics. The topics are Corrosion, Metal and Wood.

Toughness (Corrosion)

The ability of a metal to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing

Toughness (Metal)

Property of resisting fracture or distortion. Usually measured by impact test, high impact values indicating high toughness.Capacity of a metal to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing.Ability of a metal to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing. It is usually measured by the energy absorbed in a notch impact test, but the area under the stress-strain curve in tensile testing is also a measure of toughness.

Toughness (Wood)

A quality of wood which permits the material to absorb a relatively large amount of energy, to withstand repeated shocks, and to undergo considerable deformation before breaking.
