A brittle failure has extensive plastic deformation in the vicinity of the advancing crack. This process proceeds relatively slow (stable) and the crack resists any further extension unless there is an increase in the applied stress

a. True
b. False

In a brittle failure the cracks spreads rapidly without a significant deformation, and the cracks are very unstable with the cracks extending without an increase in the amount of applied stress.

Therefore the above description in the question is false.
