Lecture

Fracture of Materials: Glass Failure Mechanisms

Description

This lecture reviews exercises related to the fracture of materials, focusing on the failure mechanisms of glass. Topics include the calculation of critical energy release rate, surface free energy, flaw size estimation, and the strength of glass fibers. The discussion also covers the energy dissipation mechanisms at crack tips and the quality control of glass materials. Additionally, the lecture explores the implications of Griffith's theory on glass strength and the reinforcement of composites with glass fibers.
