Abstract

Using new proposals regarding the stability condition of cracks in a brittle material and the rate equations for heterogeneous system, numerical calculations are performed on the rate of crack propagation and the time to failure in silicon carbide single crystal, assuming Griffith type atomically sharp crack and linear elasticity in the material.
