... a brief summary of historical failures that were found to be a result of brittle fracture, and describes key components that drive susceptibility to a brittle fracture failure, namely stress, material toughness, and cracklike defect. It also presents industry codes and standards that assess susceptibility...

... Abstract This article illustrates the role that fracture mechanics can play in failure analysis. It describes the important failure criteria as relations between design and materials factors, which are used to correlate fracture mechanics analysis to the observations of a failure analysis...

... and standard specifications require the definition of tensile properties for a material, these data are only partly indicative of mechanical resistance to failure in service. Except for those situations where gross yielding or highly ductile fracture represents limiting failure conditions, tensile strength...

Fig. 119 Brittle fracture of AISI 1020 hydraulic jack shaft. Failure originated at root of machined thread. Corrosion (evident on part) and fatigue (due to repeated loading of shaft) may also have played roles in the failure. Photomicrograph of fracture surface shows transgranular cleavage More
