Brittleness is a material property characterized by the tendency of a material to fracture or break easily without significant deformation. In underwater applications, brittleness is critical as it affects the durability and reliability of materials exposed to harsh conditions, such as pressure, temperature changes, and corrosive environments. Understanding brittleness helps in selecting materials that can withstand these challenges while maintaining structural integrity.
congrats on reading the definition of Brittleness. now let's actually learn it.
