Abstract
The concepts of deformation and fracture kinetics theory are extended for the analysis of stress corrosion cracking. A single, coherent system is developed that provides the full kinetics description of the typical SCC behavior. The kinetics approach shows that Regions I and II are associated with two consecutive energy barriers, parallel with the single barrier associated with Regon III. The kinetics analysis of two consecutive barriers leads to a four-term expression, rather than to the generally considered two-term form. The effect of the threshold stress intensity is predicted by the complete desxription of the consecutive barrier system.

Influence of Water Vapor on Crack Propagation in Soda‐Lime Glass

TL;DR: In this article, the double-cantilever cleavage technique was used to observe crack motion and to accurately measure crack velocities in glass, where the measured crack velocity is a complicated function of stress and of water vapor concentration in the environment.

The theory of stress corrosion cracking in alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, stress corrosion cracking is a phenomenon that is of interest to a wide range of metal users when it occurs under service conditions, often without any prior indication of impeding failure, its effect may be catastrophic.

Failure Prediction in Structural Ceramics Using Acoustic Emission

TL;DR: In this paper, two types of acoustic emission are detected: slow growth of the fracture-initiating flaw; the emission rate depends primarily on crack velocity; and cracking associated with second-phase particles, as a result of the combined action of the applied stress and local thermal and mechanical stresses.
