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.
