Failure Prediction in Glass

Abstract

The static fatigue of Pyrex borosilicate glass was measured over a wide range of stress and failure time, and the log failure time was found to be inversely proportional to the applied stress. The appearance of fracture origins was consistent with crack tip sharpening during fatigue, as predicted by the Hillig-Charles theory as modified for different failure time-stress functional relations. An explanation for the sensitivity of fatigue of soda-lime glass to surface treatment was proposed. (Author)
