The theory of stress corrosion for slow crack propagation is reviewed in the light of classical
Griffith theory of fracture. Experimental data for stress corrosion cracking for glasses …

A review is presented of the experimental data on subcritical crack growth in geological
materials. The main parameters describing subcritical crack growth are the critical stress …

A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory and Practical Applications of
Ceramic Materials When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often catastrophic …

When it was learned that Professor Scholze was revising his classic work on the nature,
structure, and properties of glass, it was natural to conceive the idea of translating the new …

The mechanical strength of most glasses and ceramics decreases with time under static
loading in an ambient environment. This strength loss is associated with slow growth of …

Vickers deformation/fracture indentations have been investigated in six silicate glasses. The
characteristic damage patterns fall into two distinct groups, according to whether the glass …

The double torsion testing method has been used to determine catastrophic and subcritical
crack propagation parameters for pre-cracked specimens of Westerly granite and Black …

Abstract Effects of water and a variety of organic liquids on crack-growth rates in soda-lime-
silica glass was investigated. When water is present in organic liquids, it is usually the …

It is proposed that the difficulties encountered with the meaning of subcritical crack growth
arose from a misunderstanding of the Griffith equation. This equation is G= 2 γ for an …
