Fast fracture Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
In
structural engineering (and possibly other
engineering disciplines, as well),
fast fracture is a term given to a phenomenon in which a flaw (such as a crack) in a
material expands quickly, and
causes catastrophic failure of the material. Stress acting on a material when fast fracture occurs is less than the material's yield stress.
