Ductile fracture
Occurs with plastic deformation
• Brittle fracture
• Little or no plastic deformation
• Catastrophic
Ductile vs Brittle Failure
4
Fracture Very Moderately
Brittle
behavior: Ductile Ductile
• Ductile failure:
--one piece
--large deformation
• Brittle failure:
--many pieces
--small deformation

ρ
t where
ρ t = radius of curvature
σ o = applied stress
σ m = max stress at crack tip
where
E = modulus of elasticity
γ s = specific surface energy
a = one half length of internal crack
Kc = σ c/σ 0
