Researchers have developed a powerful new method to simulate and predict how cracks form and grow in engineering materials ...

Fracture toughness is a critical measure of a material's ability to resist crack propagation in the presence of pre-existing flaws. Resistance curve (J–R curve) analysis, employing parameters such as ...

Traumatic fracture- This type of fracture is due to trauma like direct blow, fall or road traffic accident. Pathological fracture- Fracture in a weak bone due to underlying diseases like osteoporosis ...

Bones are not inert objects, but instead living tissue that responds to a host of mechanical forces. So what if the reason some elderly fall and "break" their hip is that – similar to a bridge ...

A spiral fracture is a complete break in a bone that is caused by a twisting motion or force. In this type of fracture, the bone is in at least two pieces, and the broken bones may resemble a spiral ...
