all present conchoidal fracture when they lack a preferential cleavage plane. Conchoidal fractures can occur in various materials if they are properly percussed

The fracture of soft materials involves large deformations and crack blunting before propagation of the crack can occur. Consequently, the stress field

stress fractures are common overuse injuries in athletes. Stress fractures can be described as small cracks in the bone, or hairline fractures. Stress

In materials science, fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading. Once a fatigue crack has initiated, it grows

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field of researching and discovering materials. Materials engineering is an engineering field of finding uses

Transgranular fracture is a type of fracture that occurs through the crystal grains of a material. In contrast to intergranular fractures, which occur

embrittlement in which intergranular fracture can be observed. Intergranular fracture can occur in a wide variety of materials, including steel alloys, copper

high-strength materials have low impact energies which attest to the fact that fractures easily initiate and propagate in high-strength materials. The impact
