Notes:
Subcritical crack growth in glass shows three characteristic regions, depending on crack velocity. Among three regions, in region III, where water does not affect crack-growth behavior, the slope of the crack-growth curve can be correlated with the intrinsic nature of glass fracture. In this study, to measure the crack velocity in region III, a periodic stress wave was applied to produce fracture-surface markings in the double-cleavage-drilled compression specimen. The crack-growth data obtained were compared with results obtained via direct observation of the crack front. As a result, this method, by using stress-wave fractography, was found to be effective to obtain the crack-growth curve in region III.
