Tensile strength is the maximum stress up to which a material can be loaded without failure. When the tensile strength is exceeded, the material breaks or fails. This is also known as ultimate...
Category: Piping Stress Basics
A thrust block is a concrete pipe restraint that prevents the mainline from moving by transferring pipe loads (mainly due to pressure thrust) to a wider load-bearing surface. Usually, thrust blocks...
Metal Fatigue Definition The unexpected failure of metallic components by progressive fracturing while in operating condition is known as metal fatigue. Local overstressing of a component...
Brittle Fracture and Ductile Fracture: Definition, Mechanism, Differences
The fracture can be defined as the separation of the material into two or more parts. Failure of material can involve any of the two mechanisms; ductile fracture or brittle fracture. Both these...
