Fracture
Fracture is the appearance of a crack or complete separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress (mechanics), stress. The fracture of a solid usually occurs due to the development of certain displacement discontinuity surfaces within the solid. If a displacement develops perpendicular to the surface, it is called a normal tensile crack or simply a crack; if a displacement develops tangentially, it is called a shear crack, slip band, or dislocation. #Brittle, Brittle fractures occur without any apparent deformation before fracture. #Ductile, Ductile fractures occur after visible deformation. Fracture strength, or breaking strength, is the stress when a specimen fails or fractures. The detailed understanding of how a fracture occurs and develops in materials is the object of fracture mechanics. Strength Fracture strength, also known as breaking strength, is the stress at which a specimen structural integrity and failure, fails via fra ...

Bone Fracture
A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a ''comminuted fracture''. An open fracture (or compound fracture) is a bone fracture where the broken bone breaks through the skin. A bone fracture may be the result of high force Impact force, impact or Stress fracture, stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture. Most bone fractures require urgent medical attention to prevent further injury. Signs and symptoms Although bone tissue contains no nociceptors, pain receptors, a bone fracture is painful for several reasons: * Breaking in the continuity of the periosteum, with or without similar disconti ...

Fractured (Yates Book)
''Fractured: why our societies are coming apart and how we put them back together again'' is a non-fiction book by Jon Yates, first published in Manchester in 2021 by HarperNorth. Summary The premises of the book are that humans have a cognitive bias to homophily (that is, to favour and surround themselves with other people who are like themselves, dubbed 'People Like Me syndrome' by Yates), and that societies conversely tend to develop institutions to ensure what Yates calls a 'Common Life' (in which people have more heterogeneous friendships and ties). Yates's key example of such an institution in a hunter-gatherer society, and a recurrent reference point in the book, is the custom of the epeme dance in Hadza culture. Yates posits that conditions of rapid social change can render Common-Life institutions obsolete; that the consequent weakening of Common-Life institutions leads to individuals' social circles growing more homogeneous; and that the tendency to more homogeneous ...
