Slide 10

In this picture we see a turkey tibiotarsus bone fractured under torsional loading. It can be seen that failure occurs along a helix inclined at an angle of 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis. This type of failure is typical of brittle materials since they tend to fail along planes perpendicular to the direction of maximum tension.
