THE MECHANICS OF RUPTURE--DOES IT ONLY BENEFIT SCIENCE?

BRUCHMECHANIK--NUR FUER DIE WISSENSCHAFT?

The article examines ruptures due to brittleness without deformation of materials with high tensile strength. Functions have been calculated for different types of fissure taking into account only the residual tension and the shape of the fissure, and this enables the stress intensity at the edge of the fissure to be ascertained. A characteristic of the material is the critical intensity of the stress when the sample or component part is ruptured. This method is still limited to ideally elastic and brittle materials, but could also be extended to real materials.
