Fracture toughness quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Fracture toughness card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Plane strain conditions give the lowest fracture toughness value which is a ______ property.
Answer
material. Plane strain conditions give the lowest fracture toughness value which is a material property. From the Fracture toughness article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Fracture toughness. Fracture toughness 71 · Dark matter halo 68 · Pope Gregory II 65 · Richard C. Tolman 62 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a material property that quantifies its ability to resist crack propagation and failure under applied stress.
- A component's thickness affects the constraint conditions at the tip of a crack with thin components having plane stress conditions, leading to ductile behavior and thick components having plane strain conditions, where the constraint increases, leading to brittle failure.
- Plane strain conditions give the lowest fracture toughness value which is a material property.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Fracture toughness article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Fracture toughness
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
