A brittle material fractures without haven a large strain on beforehand. Examples are most ceramics, of extremely hard steel.
The opposite is ductile.

What is a brittle material?
a brittle is something that breaks easily with out more opposition like bones for instance..
Is factor of safety of brittle material half of ductile material?
is factor of safety of brittle material half of ductile material
What is definition of britleness for testing material?
A material will be graded as brittle when it breaks with only a small amount of strain. Its brittleness is based on the amount of deformation used to break the material.
Stress strain curve for brittle material?
Brittle materials such as ceramics do not have a yield point. For these materials the rupture strength and the ultimate strength are the same, therefore the stress-strain curve would consist of only the elastic region, followed by a failure of the material.
Glass is an example of what material?
Glass is an example of an amorphous solid or non-crystalline material. Glass is typically characterized to be brittle and optically transparent.

Is rock an example a brittle material?
A rock may be brittle.
Is rubber ductile material or brittle material?
There are two.
Why the machining of brittle material is easy than ductile material?
Very ductile material will often smear rather than cut during machining operations. Less ductile material (more brittle) will cut more easily.
What will happen to a material if the stress exceeds the ultimate strength?
It will break or fail. The type of failure will depend on how brittle/ductile it is. Brittle material will break cleanly, while ductile material will deform to varying degrees.
What does it mean for a material to brittle?
It breaks when pressure is applied
What is the most brittle material?
gold in its purest form
What happens to playdough after cooling?
The material become brittle.
What does it mean for material to be a brittle?
It breaks when pressure is applied
Is brittle metal or non-metal?
Brittle is neither a metal or nonmetal, it is a physical property of materials.Brittle is a property of a material. Most metals are not brittle but ductile and maleable.
Why is the lithosphere able to fracture into an earthquake?
The lithosphere is brittle. A brittle material is one that loses cohesion when it fails allowing fractures to propagate through the material. The lithosphere is brittle because it is at too low a temperature and pressure to fail or deform in a ductile manner.
