  2. Brittleness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittleness

    Brittle fracture in glass Brittle fracture in cast iron tensile testpieces. A material is brittle if, when subjected to stress, it fractures with little elastic deformation and without significant plastic deformation. Brittle materials absorb relatively little energy prior to fracture, even those of high strength. Breaking is often accompanied ...

  3. Ductility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility

    This brittleness primarily stems from their strong ionic or covalent bonds, which maintain the atoms in a rigid, densely packed arrangement. Such a rigid lattice structure restricts the movement of atoms or dislocations, essential for plastic deformation.

  4. Physical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_property

    Some physical properties are qualitative, such as shininess, brittleness, etc.; some general qualitative properties admit more specific related quantitative properties, such as in opacity, hardness, ductility, viscosity, etc. Physical properties are often characterized as intensive and extensive properties. An intensive property does not depend ...

    Brittleness. The mineral breaks or powders easily. Most ionic-bonded minerals are brittle. [1] Malleability The mineral may be pounded out into thin sheets. ...

  6. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    In materials science, material failure is the loss of load carrying capacity of a material unit. This definition introduces to the fact that material failure can be examined in different scales, from microscopic, to macroscopic. In structural problems, where the structural response may be beyond the initiation of nonlinear material behaviour ...

  7. Ductility (Earth science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility_(Earth_science)

    Ductility is a material property that can be expressed in a variety of ways. Mathematically, it is commonly expressed as a total quantity of elongation or a total quantity of the change in cross sectional area of a specific rock until macroscopic brittle behavior, such as fracturing, is observed.

    Jennifer Aniston says Pvolve fitness “transformed” her body without causing pain. She also shared how she ignores “bullsh*t” aging rules at 55.

  9. Hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness

    For perfectly brittle materials, yield strength and ultimate strength are the same, because they do not experience detectable plastic deformation. The opposite of brittleness is ductility. The toughness of a material is the maximum amount of energy it can absorb before fracturing, which is different from the amount of force that can be applied ...
