Materials with high toughness Gc generally have high modulus. Sometimes, however, the need is for high toughness with low modulus, so that the component has some flexibility. Use the chart of Figure 10.4 to find the material (from among those on the chart) that has a modulus less than 0.5 GPa and the highest toughness Gc. List applications of this material that you can think of that exploit this combination of properties
