    This document discusses two modes of failure in engineering components: ductile failure and brittle failure. It describes the stress-strain curves for each failure mode, with ductile materials exhibiting plastic deformation and brittle materials fracturing without visible deformation. Common examples given are steel exhibiting ductile behavior, and ceramics exhibiting brittle behavior. The key differences in the failure mechanisms for each mode are explained. Fracture toughness, which is a material's resistance to brittle fracture, is also defined as important for engineering design. An example calculation is shown to determine the maximum permissible force and allowable defect size for a cracked steel plate, using the material's fracture toughness, yield stress and design
