  2. Environmental stress cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_stress_cracking

    This type of cracking typically involves brittle cracking, with little or no ductile drawing of the material from its adjacent failure surfaces. [1] Environmental stress cracking may account for around 15-30% of all plastic component failures in service. [ 2 ]

    The collapsed Silver Bridge, as seen from the Ohio side. One of the worst disasters caused by stress corrosion cracking was the fall of the Silver Bridge, WV in 1967, when a single brittle crack formed by rusting grew to criticality. The crack was on one of the tie bar links of one of the suspension chains, and the whole joint failed quickly by ...

  9. Deformation mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_mechanism

    Deformation mechanisms are commonly characterized as brittle, ductile, and brittle-ductile. The driving mechanism responsible is an interplay between internal (e.g. composition, grain size and lattice-preferred orientation) and external (e.g. temperature and fluid pressure) factors.
