SURFACE FLAW DISTRIBUTIONS IN BRITTLE MATERIALS AND HERTZIAN FRACTURE

Refined mode I and mode II stress intensity factors for short cracks perpendicular to a free surface driven by a Hertzian indenter have been calculated for the case where the sphere and substrate are made of the same material. Computer simulations of Hertzian indentation tests for a variety of rando...
