Brittle fracture: Its study and application
Abstract
Brittle fracture is a challenging problem both from theoretical and experimental viewpoints. Once a crack starts to propagate in a brittle solid its velocity may quickly reach several thousands of metres/sec. Various high resolution techniques including high-speed photography, ultrasonics and electrical methods have been developed for fracture propagation studies. For many brittle solids a maximum crack velocity exists. Crack branching can occur either when a crack reaches a high velocity or when a stress wave passes over it. Brittle fracture is frequently an undesirable event, but there are situations where it has great practical importance. Examples of the beneficial application of fracture are discussed including gem stone cleaving, the interruption of electric current and rock fragmentation.

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.
