Glossary
A discontinuity is any break in the typical structure of a material, which can lead to cracks, seams, inclusions and fatigues due to increased stress on an area. Discontinuities themselves, however, are not necessarily considered defects, and should be assessed by Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques to determine if structural damage is imminent.
