Equations 8.24 and 8.25 only apply to elastically brittle solids such as glass. However, many engineering materials only break in a truly brittle manner at very low temperature and above these temperatures failures are pseudo-brittle. These have many of the features of brittle fracture but include limited ductility. This plastic work can be included in the above equations, i.e.

Expressed in the same units, the hardnesses of engineering materials cover a vast range broader than 1 to 100. Plastics are at the bottom end of the range but are of a wide diversity and offer decisive advantages compared to metals, glass, ceramics, wood and others.

As pointed out by Stephens and Goldman (State University of New York at Stony Brook). Quasicrystals are neither uniformly ordered like crystals nor amorphous like glasses. Many features of quasicrystals cun be explained, but their atomic structure remains to be described fully. See also Aluminum Alloys and Engineered Materials... 

The important feature of polymers based on vinyl monomers is their transparency in the visible part of the spectrum. This is why the most important articles produced from these materials are organic glasses, which are used in the aircraft, automobile and ship-building industries as engineering materials, and also in civil engineering, and the optical, chemical, food industries, etc. The main technical characteristics of poly (methyl methacrylate) are given in Table 1.1.
