Source sentences:
text: Depending on how the member is loaded, it may fail by excessive dejection, which results in the member being unable to perform its design function; it may fail by plastic deformation (general yielding), which may cause a permanent, undesirable change in shape; it may fail because of a fracture (break), which depending on the material and the nature of loading may be of a ductile type preceded by appreciable plastic deformation or of a brittle type with little or no prior plastic deformation.
