    Types of Fracture

    Uploaded by

    Himanshu Jha
    The document discusses three types of material fractures: ductile, cup-and-cone, and brittle. Ductile materials experience plastic deformation before fracturing while brittle materials do not. Cup-and-cone fracture involves initial necking followed by cavity formation and growth leading to shear fracture at an angle. Brittle fracture is fast without plastic deformation and often occurs along crystallographic planes.

    TYPES OF FRACTURE

    DUCTILE FRACTURE
    • Ductile materials typically exhibit substantial plastic deformation with high
    energy absorption before fracture.

    (a) Highly ductile fracture in


    which the specimen necks down to a point.
    (b) Moderately ductile fracture after some
    necking. (c) Brittle fracture without any
    plastic deformation.
    STAGES IN THE CUP-AND-CONE FRACTURE

    (a) Initial necking.


    (b) Small cavity formation.
    (c) Coalescence of cavities to form a crack.
    (d) Crack propagation.
    (e) Final shear fracture at a
    angle relative to the tensile direction.
    BRITTLE FRACTURE
    • No appreciable plastic deformation.
    • Crack propagation is very fast.
    • Crack propagates nearly perpendicular to the
    direction of the applied stress.
    • Crack often propagates by cleavage -
    breaking of atomic bonds along specific
    crystallographic planes (cleavage planes).
    • Brittle fracture in amorphous materials such
    as ceramics glasses, yields relatively shiny and
    smooth surface.
