AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the types of fractures in metals, specifically highlighting brittle and ductile fractures. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding failure and fracture mechanisms, which is a complex area of research. Key types of fractures mentioned include fatigue and creep, with examples provided such as aluminum frames in aircraft for fatigue and coat hangers for creep. The conversation suggests that clearer questions are needed to facilitate more focused responses on the topic.

I'm inclined to respond with "the chicken crossed the road", but I shan't.

Are you asking a question ? If yes, where is this question from ? If not, what do you wish to achieve in this thread ?
 
brittle, ductile.
 
u hav not answr properly i.e.not to the point b ut any way thnx
 
rehman, like Gokul said (:biggrin: ) could you elaborate a bit, the failure & fracture mechanisms of metals are an immense field of research, we'll be able to help you once we know what you're after.
 
Fracture

The most prominent fractures in metals are known to be fatigue and creep. Aluminium frames of aircrafts serves as the perfect epitome for fatigue whereas coat hangers' cracks or indeed fractures is a good example of creep. What perennial stated is also perfectly correct. It is you I'm afraid that hasn't asked the question properly!
