A fracture is the (local) separation of an object or material into two, or more, pieces under the action of stress.
The word fracture is often applied to bones of living creatures (that is, a bone fracture), or to crystals or crystalline materials, such as gemstones or metal. Sometimes, in crystalline materials, individual crystals fracture without the body actually separating into two or more pieces. Depending on the substance which is fractured, a fracture reduces strength (most substances) or inhibits transmission of light (optical crystals).
A detailed understanding of how fracture occurs in materials may be assisted by the study of fracture mechanics.
A fracture is also the term used for a particular mask data preparation procedure within the realm of integrated circuit design that involves transposing complex polygons into simpler shapes such as trapezoids and rectangles.
Fracture strength, also known as breaking strength, is the stress at which a specimen fails via fracture. This is usually determined for a given specimen by a tensile test, which charts the stress-strain curve (see image). The final recorded point is the fracture strength.

..Bless them with consciousness, a distinction between
the "I" and the rest, a bi-dimensional path, the source
of every border...a mirror that reflects every image as
its own boundary.
Muted ways of release, presents of flowing
insipidness turning the functions of meaning into
a clever insult
I, my own fracture, in spiral climbing towards a
foundational negation of sense
Staring through static waters, engulfed by perfect
reflections, portraits of compulsive fiction, lifeless
reminders of our exile, sweet omens of forced organic
