Brittle materials are more susceptible to stress failure than ductile materials from "summary" of Stress and Strain by Winthrop Dickinson Means
Brittle materials, such as glass and ceramics, are known for their tendency to fail suddenly and catastrophically under stress. This is due to their lack of plastic deformation capability, which means that they do not easily change shape when subjected to external forces. In contrast, ductile materials, like metals and some polymers, are able to undergo significant deformation before ultimately breaking. This difference in behavior is crucial when considering the susceptibility of materials to stress failure.
When a brittle material is subjected to stress, it is more likely to reach its ultimate strength quickly and fracture without warning. This is because the material does not have the...
