Abstract

The influence of surface treatment on fatigue of soda-lime glass has not been previously explained. An explanation based on different distributions of crack tip radii for different treatments is proposed. Fatigue is considered to occur as a result of crack tip sharpening. Freshly abraded glass has crack tips of a minimum radius that cannot sharpen, so such glass has longer fatigue life. Glass aged in water after abrasion has blunter crack tips, and consequently shorter life. Chemical conditions at the crack tip are the same over a wide range of external pH, and also influence the effect of surface treatment on fatigue times.
