Fracture of the materials and elements of steel structures

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

This article examines another two of the six most typical types of fracture of steel and steel structures: fracture under a cyclic load (fatigue) and hydrogen-induced delayed brittle fracture. It also examines the associated micro-mechanisms that result in the formation of a characteristic relief on the fracture surface.
