An Investigation into the Densification-Affected Deformation and Fracture in Fused Silica under Contact Sliding

Subsurface damage of fused silica optics is one of the major factors restricting the performance of optical systems. The densification-affected deformation and fracture in fused silica under a sliding contact are investigated in this study, via three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). The fi...
