The main kinds of fracture mechanisms of metals under the action of tensile loads are considered with allowance for the state of the surface and special features of the structure. The determining role of the joint action of stress concentration and generation of hypersonic waves at frequencies resonant for the metal atoms is described. It is shown that the analogy between the behavior of metals and...
