  2. Oxide jacking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide_jacking

    The expansive force of rusting, which may be called oxide jacking or rust burst, is a phenomenon that can cause damage to structures made of stone, masonry, concrete or ceramics, and reinforced with metal components. A definition is "the displacement of building elements due to the expansion of iron and steel products as the metal rusts and ...

  3. Fracture (mineralogy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_(mineralogy)

    Fracture differs from cleavage in that the latter involves clean splitting along the cleavage planes of the mineral's crystal structure, as opposed to more general breakage. All minerals exhibit fracture, but when very strong cleavage is present, it can be difficult to see.

  4. Scoring (industrial process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoring_(industrial_process)

    2. Jagged edge from breakage. It can also be used to allow materials to expand and contract under varying thermal conditions. Scoring is used in place of cutting through the material all the way because you can obtain relatively the same results with less time and labor.

  5. Fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture

    Fracture is the appearance of a crack or complete separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress.The fracture of a solid usually occurs due to the development of certain displacement discontinuity surfaces within the solid.

  6. Formability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formability

    Formability is the ability of a given metal workpiece to undergo plastic deformation without being damaged. The plastic deformation capacity of metallic materials, however, is limited to a certain extent, at which point, the material could experience tearing or fracture (breakage).

  7. Spall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spall

    The relatively soft warhead, containing or made of plastic explosive, flattens against the armour plating on tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) and explodes, creating a shock wave that travels through the armour as a compression wave and is reflected at the free surface as a tensile wave breaking (tensile stress/strain fracture ...

  8. Dike (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dike_(geology)

    The fractures take the form of a set of concentric cones dipping at a relatively shallow angle into the magma chamber. [3] [13] When the caldera is subsequently emptied by explosive volcanic activity, the roof of the magma chamber collapses as a plug of rock surrounded by a ring fracture. Magma rising into the ring fracture produces a ring dike.

  9. Corrosion fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_fatigue

    Specimen fracture occurs when the stress-intensity-factor range is equal to the applicable threshold-stress-intensity factor for stress-corrosion cracking. When attempting to analyze the effects of corrosion fatigue on crack growth in a particular environment, both corrosion type and fatigue load levels affect crack growth in varying degrees.
