How and When Metals Fail. A Physics Based Model for the Ductile Failure of Metals From the millions of miles of aging pipelines to the intricate workings of a wind turbine, metals are ubiquitous. Of paramount importance in both the design and upkeep of these materials is a predictive capability for their failure. An improved understanding of ductile failure will offer increases in efficiency, reliability, and applicability of metals and their alloys.
