Explanation
fracture refers to the failure of specimen or component caused by unstable crack propagation. According to the causes of fracture, it can be divided into overload fracture, fatigue fracture, creep fracture and environmental fracture (stress corrosion, hydrogen induced cracking and liquid metal brittle fracture). environmental fracture is caused by crack nucleation and propagation under constant load, which requires a time process, so it is also called delayed fracture.
