Influence of surface cracks on Hertzian fracture
The Hertzian indentation test is an alternative to the more familiar Vickers indentation test for the evaluation of the fracture properties of brittle materials. The distinct advantage of the Hertzian test is that the deformation produced by the indenter is entirely elastic until fracture occurs. Ca...
