Stress ruptures in materials, particularly in tubular structures, are often described as 'fish-mouth' failures. This term refers to the appearance of the rupture, which looks like an open mouth of a fish due to the thinning and deformation of the material at the fracture site. The distinctive feature of a thinning, knife-edged fracture surface is indicative of the significant deformation and bulging that occurs before the material ultimately fails.
Tube ruptures are characterized by open “fishmouth” failure and are usually accompanied by a thin, knife edged fracture surface resulting from the excessive deformation and bulging prior to failure.
