“…Many BCC metals have BDT temperatures (BDTTs) around or below room temperature [25][26][27]. In addition, the BDT is an important consideration for structural materials; neglecting the BDT can have disastrous effects, such as the famous catastrophic hull failures of steel Liberty Ships during World War II [28]. Tungsten is an elastically isotropic, highstrength BCC metal considered for replacements for depleted uranium projectiles for tanks [29] and for divertors in Tokamak-type fusion reactors [30] and possesses a relatively accessible BDTT of around 400 K [31], making it an ideal material for studying the effects of increasing plasticity at small length scales.…”

“…Steel is the most commonly used metal that shows this behavior. Throughout history, many cases have occurred where catastrophic failures have occurred due to brittle fracture [19][20][21]. The Titanic's sinking is the most renowned of these.…”
