A break that occurs by rapid crack propagation.
Fracture that occurs by rapid crack propagation and without appreciable plastic deformation.
Separation of a solid accompanied by little or no macroscopic plastic deformation. Typically, brittle fracture occurs by rapid crack propagation with less expenditure of energy than for ductile fracture.
fracture that occur by rapid crack propagation and without appreciable macroscopic deformation.
Loss of ductility and strength associated with low temperatures and imperfections
A fracture which occurs without appreciable plastic deformation.
A fracture that has little or no plastic deformation.
Fracture of steel associated with exposure to very low temperatures often in circumstances in which stress levels have not exceeded yield strength.
Fracture with little or no plastic deformation.
