Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting lifetimes of materials and material structures
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to provide the background for assessing the mechanical reliability of brittle materials under tensile strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic and Static Fatigue of Silicate Glasses
John E. Ritter,C. L. Sherburne +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fatigue of soda-lime, E, borosilicate, and fused quartz glass was studied using both static and dynamic tests, and the theoretical implications of these results are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of the Microindentation Technique for Determining Interfacial Fracture Energy
TL;DR: In this article, the microindentation technique was used to determine the interfacial fracture energy of epoxy coatings on soda-lime glass substrates, and an analytical model was developed for calculating fracture energy based on indenter load versus debond crack size measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Appraisal of biaxial strength testing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated three biaxial strength tests (ring-on-ring, pistonon-3 ball, and ball-onring) using finite element analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erosion damage in glass and alumina
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of room-temperature erosion on material removal from and strength properties of soda-lime glass and sintered alumina was compared to the elastic/plastic indentation fracture model.
