85) What is the brittle material?
A material is brittle if, when subjected to stress, it breaks with little elastic deformation and without
significant plastic deformation. Brittle materials absorb relatively little energy prior to fracture, even those of high
strength. Breaking is often accompanied by a snapping sound.
examples
Bone, cast iron, ceramic, and concrete are examples of brittle materials. Materials that have relatively large
plastic regions under tensile stress are known as ductile
