Brittleness is a physical property of a material that describes its tendency to break or shatter without significant deformation when subjected to stress. Brittle materials, like glass or ceramics, do not absorb much energy prior to fracturing and do not undergo any plastic deformation.
In materials science, brittleness is understood as the lack of ductility. For engineers, the understanding of the difference between brittle and ductile material is of the highest importance.
1 Μαΐ 2024 · Brittleness is a quality in materials science that describes a material’s tendency to fracture with minimal plastic deformation. Brittle materials have a limited ability to absorb impact energy before fracture. Brittle materials have limited tensile strength, poor impact resistance, and mild deformation.
Definition. Brittleness refers to the property of a material that causes it to fracture or break easily under stress without significant deformation. Materials characterized by brittleness tend to absorb little energy before failure, resulting in a sudden and catastrophic break rather than a gradual yielding or deformation.
Learning Objectives. Conduct an investigation to identify at least five different properties of a material. Explain, with evidence, that different materials have their own unique properties. Use appropriate vocabulary to describe the properties of materials. NGSS Alignment.
A change in the size, shape or state of matter is called a physical change. In a chemical change, bonding patterns of matter change and new substances form. All chemical reactions are considered chemical changes. There are two types of physical properties: Extensive and Intensive physical properties.
