Extract

The strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied load without breaking or changing its shape. The strength of an ideal, defect-free crystal can be very high, but except for rather exotic materials such as micrometer-sized whiskers, crystals will fracture and/or deform plastically under stresses that are well below their ideal strength limits.
