Fracture is the mechanical failure of the material which will produce the separation or fragmentation of a solid into two or more parts under the action of stresses.

FRACTURE AND ITS PREVENTION

1. What is Meant by Fracture?

✔ Fracture is the mechanical failure of the material which will produce the separation or fragmentation of a solid into two or more parts under the action of stresses.

✔ The understanding of various phenomenons of fracture is necessary to minimise and prevent the fracture.

2. Cause of Fracture

The fracture is caused due to the presence of submicroscopic defects known as cracks. Then the initial crack is propagated to cause complete failure.

3. Types of Fractures

The four important types of fractures are:

1. Brittle fracture,

2. Ductile fracture,

3. Fatigue fracture, and

4. Creep fracture.

Now we shall discuss the above types, in detail, in the following sections.
