Two important classes of materials available in Scan&Solve are ductile and brittle materials.  Ductile materials tend to yield before breaking, while brittle materials often fail suddenly without significant deformation.  If a material has yielded, it has permanently deformed in some way.  Most alloys of unhardened steel are ductile, while concrete and ceramic are brittle. These two material…
