Further fractography and particular fracture appearances

In fractography, different fracture surfaces are examined and described with regard to their appearance and morphology. In this context, the fracture surface carries information on the fracture event and on the material, as the morphology reflects the microstructure as well as the physical properties. In the course of this work it is show that the fractographic examination may go beyond just viewing the fracture surfaces. In addition to that, some fracture appearances are presented that are rarely encountered in practice.
