Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

structural-kinetic stochastic approach to the study of the brittle fracture of materials was developed. This approach was used to determine the conditions for passive (latent) and active development of brittle fracture. An asymptotic expression was obtained for the average durability of brittle materials at low stresses at which passive development of fracture occurs.
