Shear vs torsion - difference?
Shear vs torsion - difference?
(OP)
Hi folks,
Is there a way, via SEM, to tell the difference between a shear failure vs a torsion failure or, are the fractures basically the same? An elongated dimple rupture?

Have you examined the macrofeatures of the fracture surface to establish service loading conditions? Normally, one begins with observations related to the entire fracture surface before drilling down to higher magnification.
Yes, elongated dimples from ductile rupture can be under shear load or torsional load conditions.

Have a look at this site:-

it gives examples of what to look for.
