A note on brittle crack growth in compression
Abstract
The growth of cracks in photoelastic material and glass under compression is being studied as part of an investigation of brittle fracture of rock. In compression the most severely stressed crack is inclined at about 30° to the axis of compression. Such cracks, when either isolated or placed in an array, grow along a curved path which becomes parallel with the direction of compression. When this direction is attained, growth stops, unless applied compression is increased considerably. Cracks in certain en échelon arrays start to grow at much smaller applied stress than that required to enlarge an isolated crack.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
