Abstract

Static fatigue of as-received Pyrex borosilicate glass was examined over a wide range of stress and failure time under constant temperature, relative humidity, and surface treatment. It was necessary to calculate the load on the sample from strain guage measurements. The mean log failure time was related to the reciprocal of stress or the reciprocal of stress squared; power law and direct proportionality to stress gave poorer fits.
