Value shown here is g/cm3, which is the raw value divided by 103 Impact yield: Used for blunt-force combat; higher is better. This is the raw value divided by 103 (i.e., kPa). Impact fracture: Used for blunt-force combat; higher is better. This is the raw value divided by 103 (i.e., kPa). Impact elasticity: Used for blunt-force combat; lower is better. This is the raw value. Shear yield: Used for cutting calculations in combat; higher is better. This is the raw value divided by 103 (i.e., kPa). Shear fracture: Used for cutting calculations in combat; higher is better. This is the raw value divided by 103 (i.e., kPa). Shear elasticity: Used for cutting calculations in combat; lower is better. This is the raw value. General Term Explanations (From Wikipedia) Yield Strength - The stress at which material strain changes from elastic deformation to plastic deformation, causing it to deform permanently. Fracture Strength - The stress coordinate on the stress-strain curve at the point of rupture. Stress - Force per area = F/A Strain - Deformation of a solid due to stress = Stress/Young's Modulus So... Explanations! Yield Strength is the amount of stress required to permanently deform (bend) a material (plastic deformation) Fracture Strength is the amount of stress required to permanently break (rupture) a material Elasticity (or IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD in RAWs) is the amount of deformation (bending) that occurs at the yield point Implications to Dwarf Fortress Combat Yield combined with Elasticity can tell what a material will do under stress (be it from a hammer, axe, or arrow) Higher yield means that it takes more stress to deform Lower elasticity means that it will deform less when stress is applied Preliminary Combat Testing & Analysis Adamantine and Steel take first and second place respectively, with Iron the third best material in the game. Beyond which, bronze is in a close tie with copper as to being the second worst material. As in older versions, silver continues to hold steady as the worst material available (no longer beneficial with wooden training weapons being available now) in regards to edged weaponry. Additionally, with regards to blunt weapons almost all of the non-adamantine materials perform equally well, with a very slight edge towards steel and silver. Here is the thread with the details: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53571.0 Keep in mind with how unbelievably complicated this system is nothing should be taken as word of law yet. Best Better Good Fair Poor Terrible Notes Armor Adamantine Steel Iron Bronze, Bismuth Bronze Copper Edged Weapons Adamantine (worst for missiles) Steel Iron Bronze, Bismuth Bronze Copper Silver For piercing iron armor, copper is better than bronze. For piercing copper or bronze armor, bronze is better than copper. Blunt Weapons Steel, Silver Copper, Bismuth Bronze, Bronze, Iron --- --- --- Adamantine All six non-adamantine metals perform nearly identically. Steel has a slightly higher rate of critical wounds, while silver is slightly more likely to penetrate armor. Cross referencing this table with the table at the top of this section seems to indicate that low densities, high impact fractures, and high shear fractures contribute to the killing power of edged weapons See also some outstanding research on armor vs. different weapon types by Shinziril.
