    Notes: A suite of garnet-wollastonite-scapolite-bearing calcsilicate granulites from the Eastern Ghats has been investigated to document the controls of mineral reactions during the metamorphic evolution of the deep continental crust. The rocks studied show heterogeneity in modal mineralogy and phase compositions in millimetre-sized domains. Textural relations, and the compositional plots of the phases, established that the clinopyroxene exerts a strong influence on the formation and composition of garnet in the complex natural system. P-T estimates using the vapour-independent equilibria involving garnet define a near isobaric cooling path from c. 850C at c. 5.5–5.2 kbar. The deduced trajectory tallies well with the terminal segment of the overall retrograde P-T path construed from the associated rocks using well-calibrated thermobarometers. The ubiquitous occurrence of wollastonite and scapolite in the main calcsilicate body suggests low aCO2 during peak metamorphic condition. Fluid compositions constrained from mineral-fluid equilibria of the garnet-bearing assemblages show domainal variations as a function of the compositions of the solid phases, e.g. garnet and clinopyroxene. A quantitative log/CO2-log/O2 diagram has been constructed to depict the stability of the different calcsilicate assemblages as functions of the compositions and the behaviour of these fugitive species. The results of the mineral-fluid equilibria and the quantitative fluid/rock ratio calculations, in conjunction with the topological constraints, imply vapour-deficient meta-morphism in the rocks studied. It is argued that fO2 during peak metamorphism was monitored by the ambient fO2. Subsequently, during retrogression, different domains evolved independently, whereas the fluid composition was controlled by the mineral-fluid equilibria.

    Notes: Abstract— CT specimens made of a reactor pressure vessel steel were loaded at—40°C until final failure occurred by cleavage fracture. The samples of Jlcl values obtained in these tests are analysed using the weakest link model. The size effect observed with specimens of different thicknesses is compared with the predictions of the weakest link model. A formula is derived for the distribution of the locations of fracture origins which have been determined for almost all specimens with a scanning electron microscope. The distribution of the size of the “weak spots” is calculated from the distribution of the fracture origins using two different models for the stress field ahead of the crack tip. These fractographic results and the Jlcl data confirm the basic ideas of the weakest link model. The deviations observed between the quantitative predictions of the weakest link model and the data can partly be explained by the change in the stress state ahead of the crack tip caused by a change in the specimen thickness.
