  2. Stress fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_fracture

    A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced bone fracture caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated injury from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping. Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are common overuse injuries in athletes.

  3. Fracture (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_(geology)

    where C is the cohesion of the rock, or the shear stress necessary to cause failure given the normal stress across that plane equals 0. μ is the coefficient of internal friction, which serves as a constant of proportionality within geology. σ n is the normal stress across the fracture at the instant of failure, σ f represents the pore fluid ...

  4. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    Fracture mechanics is the field of mechanics concerned with the study of the propagation of cracks in materials. It uses methods of analytical solid mechanics to calculate the driving force on a crack and those of experimental solid mechanics to characterize the material's resistance to fracture . Theoretically, the stress ahead of a sharp ...

  5. Fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture

    Fracture is the appearance of a crack or complete separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress. The fracture of a solid usually occurs due to the development of certain displacement discontinuity surfaces within the solid. If a displacement develops perpendicular to the surface, it is called a normal ...

  6. Spondylolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondylolysis

    Spondylolysis is a defect or stress fracture in the pars interarticularis of the vertebral arch. [1] The vast majority of cases occur in the lower lumbar vertebrae (L5), but spondylolysis may also occur in the cervical vertebrae. [2]

  7. Bone fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

    Orthopedics. Diagnostic method. X-ray, MRI. A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. [1]

  8. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    Material failure theory is an interdisciplinary field of materials science and solid mechanics which attempts to predict the conditions under which solid materials fail under the action of external loads. The failure of a material is usually classified into brittle failure ( fracture) or ductile failure ( yield ).

  9. Anderson's theory of faulting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_Theory_of_Faulting

    Anderson's theory of faulting. Anderson's theory of faulting, devised by Ernest Masson Anderson in 1905, is a way of classifying geological faults by use of principal stress. [1] [2] A fault is a fracture in the surface of the Earth that occurs when rocks break under extreme stress. [3] Movement of rock along the fracture occurs in faults.
