The generally accepted idea involving work-hardening and subsequent ‘brittle’ fracture cannot be substantiated by observation as being the only cause of fatigue failure. Observations I have ...

Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens the bones, making them brittle and susceptible to fractures. Compression fractures, a result of osteoporosis, happens in the vertebrae. In an interview ...
