Materials are subject to changes from temperature. We know there are several states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. However, within a solid-state, materials have their properties affected, in particular brittleness. The Liberty ships of the Second World War were often breaking from cold weather.
These failures highlighted a material fracture problem.
Instructions for the Report
What causes these failures, what materials are affected, and are there any that are not? How is brittleness calculated and measured (types of measurement) and what does this means for aircraft material selection and design considerations? You may include the influence of this problem from a maintenance perspective.
