Comparison of the Best Known Fracture Criteria with Data on Naturally Occurring Cracks.

Abstract

Statistical fracture theory can be used to predict the statistics of fracture for equibiaxial tension when the statistics of fracture are known for simple tension. The result depends on the fracture criterion employed. It is shown that energy density theory (and therefore also specific energy theory) lead to better agreement with the experiment than any other well-known fracture criterion. (Author)
