MICROMECHANISMS OF FRACTURE
Abstract
Various forms of damage may accumulate in engineering materials during monotonie deformation. The fracture mode is governed by which form of damage first reaches a critical level. Here, the various types of damage and fracture are reviewed. Metallographie evidence of the damage in a range of ferrous and nonferrous materials under various stress states is presented and related to the fracture modes. Fracture mechanism maps are used to show the …
