[QUOTE="IveGotTheBlues, post: 11256723, member: 37720"] Ok so I'm in the Computer Science/Engineering field. But I remember from my Physics classes in school, graphing the Stress v Strain curve for materials. It was like a section on properties of materials. Anyhow, I remember that the graphs had a general look depending on the material. The graph was linearly increasing until it's yield point. Then it became parabolic until each material had a rupture point. Well, I had a debate with my younger brother, who is an Iron Worker. He bends a lot of metal for a living, machining different metals for companies to utilize in the construction of things (buildings, walls, etc). Debate was that metal cannot snap. It only bends. Basically, if you take a rod of metal, apply opposing pressue to both ends, it will keep bending until it folds. He says it's impossible to snap. Logically, I felt that everything can snap because I thought every material had a rupture point on the Stress v Strain curve. What is the answer? [/QUOTE]
