Abstract
An analysis has been presented which enables the critical stress intensity
factor, crack velocity-stress intensity relations for any glass to
be predicted in a very simple manner from the fracture stress and
fracture surface mirror of specimens tested in 3-point bending. A
comparison of fracture energies and crack velocity parameter calculated
from the mirror data with measured values supports the accuracy
of the method.
