Abstract

In order to investigate the effect of pre-crack lengths on strength of silicon nitride balls under cyclic pressure loads, growth behavior of 600~700μm pre-cracks were compared to those of 200μm~300μm and 400~500μm pre-cracks. Furthermore, the change in initial threshold limit of the maximum stress intensity factor was discussed. It was found that the increasing ratio of stress intensity factor during N=0 and N=1000 distinguished the failure and non-failure, and pre-crack length had strong effect on the threshold limits of the increasing ratio.
