The study of fracture toughness and cleavage fracture in ferritic steels is central to understanding the reliability and safety of structural components employed in a variety of industries, including ...

The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX), with bone mineral density, predicts the risk for major osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures in patients with cancer, but FRAX without bone mineral density ...

This image shows the variation in permeability in a network of fractures due to quartz dissolving in the fractures. Each plane represents an individual fracture in the network. Fractures are the main ...

Bone loss in patients with kidney stone disease, particularly in men, has been underappreciated in clinical practice, according to investigators. Many patients with kidney stones concurrently have or ...

Fractures are everywhere. They are the cracks in the sidewalk. The rifts in roadcuts. The spidery textures in brick and boulders. And those are just the fractures visible at the surface. Underground, ...

Fractures are the main way that water and other fluids move through rocks below the Earth's surface. As fluids move through these fractures, the fluids react with minerals in the rock and in the ...
