it means if the mineral is fragile or not, and this all depends on the Mohs hardness scale
fracture is a noun; or a verb, as in "I will fracture this brick".
The three main types of fracture are: Closed fracture: the bone breaks but does not break through the skin. Open fracture: the bone breaks and protrudes through the skin. Hairline fracture: a small crack in the bone that may be difficult to detect initially.
A fracture that breaks along smooth, curved surfaces is called a conchoidal fracture. This type of fracture is commonly observed in materials like glass and minerals with a crystalline structure.
The inspection of the fracture surface is commonly used in materials science to assess the ductility and toughness of a material. The percentage of shiny surface, also known as the "percent shear area," can provide valuable information about the mode of fracture (e.g., ductile or brittle) and the energy absorbed during fracture. A higher percentage of shiny surface typically indicates a more ductile fracture, while a lower percentage suggests a more brittle fracture. This analysis is crucial for understanding the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of materials.
A ductile fracture is caused by plastic deformation that can be identified by cap and cone appearance of the fracture.
no it does not. i learned that from my science class
Yes, Fracture is the techincal term for a break.
Fracture.
Chronic means having a problem a certain length of time. So, a chronic fracture means that you may have had a fracture months before you realized it and treatment began. It can also mean that your fracture is not healing in the time that the doctor thought it would.
Fracture
Halite is a cleavage because it splits evenly, but fracture would mean it breaks irregularly.
No, an open procedure does not necessarily mean that a fracture was an open fracture. An open procedure only means that the fracture pieces could not be adequately stabilized for optimal healing without surgical intervention.No, somrtimes a closed fracture is best treated by surgical or open means. Installing screws or rods or plates may be necessary even though the bone never broke through the skin.
Fx means fracture
Most of the time it means "fracture".
i think it means fractures easily
The age of a fracture can be estimated by factors such as the appearance and characteristics of the fracture edges, the presence of signs of healing like callus formation, and imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI. However, determining the exact age of a fracture is often challenging and may not always be possible with certainty.
A commimuted fracture of a bone refers to a bone that has been broken into several pieces. This type of fracture will often require surgery to repair the damage.
