Abstract
The failure of materials due to slow crack growth, under dynamic loading conditions, is analyzed in terms of crack velocity, stress intensity relationships. It is shown that this type of analysis can fully describe the failure characteristics for both constant strain-rate and constant stress-rate loading. The analysis is used to predict the variations of strength and subcritical crack growth with strain-rate and stress-rate. Application of the analysis to several ceramic systems give data which are entirely consistent with available experimental data.
