Examples of brittle

• Changes have propagated through benthic invertebrates, with the macrofauna changing from echinoids and large clams to opportunistic brittle stars and polychaetes.

• However, at the low temperatures of space, brittle failure is more likely to occur.

• From studies of crevasse opening and closure, he contemplated both brittle and ductile aspects of ice deformation.

• Modelling of brittle and fatigue damage for elastic materials by the growth of microvoids.

• On the larger scale, observational studies of brittle and ductile deformation are included.

• How pressure solution creep and fracturing processes interact in the upper crust to make it behave in both a brittle and viscous manner.

• The transition from brittle faulting to cataclastic flow in porous sandstone: mechanical definition.

• Individual blocks are separated by thin, slickensided surfaces with fibrous striae, which make these fault zones suitable for brittle strain analysis.
