  2. Striation (fatigue) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striation_(fatigue)

    A striation marks the position of the crack tip at the time it was made. The term striation generally refers to ductile striations which are rounded bands on the fracture surface separated by depressions or fissures and can have the same appearance on both sides of the mating surfaces of the fatigue crack. Although some research has suggested ...

  3. 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.

  4. Fracture (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    A fracture is any separation in a geologic formation, such as a joint or a fault that divides the rock into two or more pieces. A fracture will sometimes form a deep fissure or crevice in the rock. Fractures are commonly caused by stress exceeding the rock strength, causing the rock to lose cohesion along its weakest plane.

  5. Fatigue (material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_(material)

    Striations mark the position of the crack tip and the width of each striation represents the growth from one loading cycle. Striations are a result of plasticity at the crack tip. When the stress intensity exceeds a critical value known as the fracture toughness, unsustainable fast fracture will occur, usually by a process of microvoid ...

  6. Transgranular fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgranular_fracture

    Transgranular fracture is a type of fracture that occurs through the crystal grains of a material. In contrast to intergranular fractures, which occur when a fracture follows the grain boundaries, this type of fracture traverses the material's microstructure directly through individual grains. This type of fracture typically results from a ...

  7. Stretch marks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_marks

    Examples of cases where stretch marks are common include weight gain (in the form of fat and/or muscle), pregnancy, and adolescent growth spurts, though it is also noted that some medications, as well as other medical conditions and diseases, may increase the likelihood of stretch marks appearing.

  8. Striation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striation

    In hyperbolic geometry, a striation is a reflection across two parallel mirrors. In anatomy, striated muscle In acoustic phonetics, striations are vertical bands on a spectrogram associated with pulses of the vocal folds when producing voiced periodic sounds.

  9. Striation (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    In geology, a striation is a groove, created by a geological process, on the surface of a rock or a mineral. In structural geology , striations are linear furrows, or linear marks, generated from fault movement.
