Spiral zitsulo chitoliro ozizira kukopeka, otentha adagulung'undisa chubu zolakwika, monga ming'alu kapena zitsulo ozungulira mkulu-mwatsatanetsatane ozizira kukopeka chitoliro pambuyo thanki, m'kupita kwa fracture, pafupifupi palibe mapindikidwe pulasitiki kumachitika, ndi Chimaona fracture.Kuphulika kwa Brittle kumachitika chifukwa cha zifukwa zosiyanasiyana.Monga: kuthamanga kwa malire a tirigu, mosasamala kanthu za mphamvu zawo zamphamvu kapena zofooka kuposa mphamvu ya matrix, chifukwa cha ming'alu.Kuphatikizidwa pa tsankho la malire a tirigu ndizomwe zimayambitsa vutoli.Komanso, ngakhale patali pansi zokolola malire alternating katundu, kungachititsenso kutopa fracture.

Kuphulika kwa Brittle pakutsika kwamphamvu kwazitsulo zolimba kwambiri kumachitika panthawi yabungwe kumakhala kutali ndi zinthu zofanana, za isotropic.Bungwe lidzakhala ndi ming'alu, padzakhala monga inclusions, porosity defects, zolakwika izi zikhoza kuwonedwa muzinthu za microcracks.Kuphatikiza apo, brittle fracture imakhudzana ndi kutentha kwa gawo.Anthu kudzera mu kafukufuku adapeza kuti kutentha kumatsika pansi pa kutentha kwina, zinthuzo zimasandulika kukhala zowonongeka, zomwe zimachepetsa kuyamwa kwake, chinthu chodziwika bwino chotchedwa brittle.
