  2. Intergranular fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergranular_fracture

    Intergranular cracking is dependent on the relative orientation of the common boundary between two grains. The path of intergranular fracture typically occurs along the highest-angle grain boundary. [6] In a study, it was shown that cracking was never exhibited for boundaries with misorientation of up to 20 degrees, regardless of boundary type ...

  3. Crack closure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_closure

    As the load is increased, a critical value will be reached at which time the crack becomes open. Crack closure occurs from the presence of material propping open the crack faces and can arise from many sources including plastic deformation or phase transformation during crack propagation, corrosion of crack surfaces, presence of fluids in the ...

  4. Fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture

    The fracture of a solid usually occurs due to the development of certain displacement discontinuity surfaces within the solid. If a displacement develops perpendicular to the surface, it is called a normal tensile crack or simply a crack; if a displacement develops tangentially, it is called a shear crack, slip band, or dislocation.

    A Griffith crack (flaw) of length is in the middle [3] [4] an infinity large material. Fracture mechanics was developed during World War I by English aeronautical engineer A. A. Griffith – thus the term Griffith crack – to explain the failure of brittle materials. [5] Griffith's work was motivated by two contradictory facts:

  7. Back injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_injury

    Spinal column or vertebral injuries can be classified using the AO spine injury classification system. [5] The three categories - A, B, and C - are based on the location of damage on the vertebra (either on the anterior or posterior segment) and by the direction of the applied injurious force.

  8. Crepitus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepitus

    Crepitus can easily be created and observed by exerting a small amount of force on a joint, thus 'cracking it'. This is caused by bubbles of nitrogen forming in the synovial fluid bursting. Almost every joint in the body can be 'cracked' in this way, but the joints which require the least amount of force to produce this effect include the ...
