What are the characteristics of the surface of a ductile fracture of a metal?
The characteristic of a surface of a ductile fracture of a metal.
Explanation of Solution
When a material undergoes plastic deformation, ductile fracture occurs. The characteristics of a surface of a ductile fracture of a metal are listed below:
The below figure represents the ductile fracture of a specimen and the plot between stresss and strain of ductile material.

- Some aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminium alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 35 MPa√m. It has been determined that fracture results at a stress of 250 MPa when the maximum (or critical) internal crack length is 2.0 mm. For this same component and alloy, show that whether fracture will or will not occur if the stress level is at 325 MPa and the maximum internal crack length is 1.0 mm.arrow_forwardSome aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminium alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 40 MPa√m. It has been determined that fracture results at a stress of 300 MPa when the maximum (or critical) internal crack length is 4.0 mm. For this same component and alloy, will fracture occur at a stress level of 260 MPa when the maximum crack is 6.0 mm? Why or why not?arrow_forwardspecimen of a 4340 steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 54.8 MPa√m is exposed to a stress of 1030 MPa. Will this specimen experience fracture if it is known that the largest surface crack is 0.5 mm long? Why or why not? Assume that the parameter Y has a value of 1.0.arrow_forward
