What is Fracture Mechanics? Explanation and Application Areas
Mechanics is a very wide field that includes various kinds of sub-fields inside it. But all these sub-fields emerged from classical mechanics and classical physics. Once you understand the general philosophy of these two disciplines, sub-disciplines will not be hard for you. One of these sub-disciplines of classical mechanics is the fracture mechanics. Fracture mechanics…

Understanding The Ductile and Brittle Nature of Materials
As you know from design engineering or in mechanical engineering lessons such as strength of materials, materials science, etc. ductile and brittle features of materials are very important. In an engineering design, the designer must consider the ductile or brittle nature of materials such as metals. By looking at very basic graphs and information of material, you can estimate…

Different Expressions And Calculations Of Ductility Of Materials
Ductility is a very common term in mechanical and materials science engineering. The term ductility states the material’s ability to rate of deformation up to fracture, with the application of stresses. What Is ‘Ductile Material’? We can say ‘ductile’ to a material if it has a significant malleability or deformability under stresses. Ductile materials are…
