About this document
Ductile vs. Brittle Fracture in Metals by Atul patel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
There are two main types of metal failure: ductile and brittle. Ductile failure involves plastic deformation and can be detected beforehand, while brittle failure is more catastrophic with no warning. Ductile failure is usually desirable. Brittle failure occurs with little deformation and results in many small pieces, while ductile failure results in one large deformed piece. Theoretical cohesive strength is higher than actual fracture strength due to inherent flaws in materials that lower the fracture stre
