In ISO 9080 evaluations, is data type A the same as ductile and data type B the same is brittle?
No, the data types (A and B) are used for dividing the data into two data sets that are used for calculating first and second branches. Data type A and B are decided purely on mathematics and statistics (stress/pressure and time). The actual failure mode e.g. Ductile and Brittle is not taken into account.
