Thus there is a loss of tensile strength which often leads to brittle fracture near the stem base, even at a fairly early stage of decay.

Crabs are arthropods whose carapace is made of a mineralized hard component ( which exhibits brittle fracture ) and a softer organic component composed primarily of chitin.
33.
Each system has a brittle fracture prevention limit curve defined by the weakest components at given temperatures and pressures allowing for the largest undetected preexisting flaw in each component.
34.
Early welded steel ships used steels with inadequate fracture toughness, which resulted in some ships suffering catastrophic brittle fracture structural cracks ( see problems of the Liberty ship ).
35.
When the lean oil pump resumed operation, it pumped oil into the heat exchanger at the temperature differential caused a brittle fracture in the exchanger ( GP905 ) at 12.26pm.
36.
However, this assumption is quite restrictive for certain types of failure in structural steels though such steels can be prone to brittle fracture, which has led to a number of catastrophic failures.
37.
Oxides are brittle and it is probable that most of the energy in the fracture mechanism is consumed in brittle fracture, but the created wear debris will instantaneously penetrate the opposing surface.
38.
In amorphous materials such as polymers, amorphous ceramics ( glass ), and amorphous metals, the lack of long range order leads to yielding via mechanisms such as brittle fracture, crazing, and shear band formation.
39.
Observation of damage sustained by buildings in the 1994 Northridge earthquake indicated that contrary to the intended behavior, in many cases, brittle fractures initiated within the connections at very low levels of plastic demand.
40.
In order to be able to redistribute the stresses in the plastic range to avoid premature brittle fracture and to achieve full net-section strength in a tension member with stress concentrations, it is suggested that:
