Impact fracture thresholds in brittle solids
The stress intensity factor induced in various flaws by nearby quasi-static Hertzian impact is studied. Idealizations in which the flaws are taken as plane, axi-symmetric or generally three dimensional are considered and compared rigorously. The results enable the residual strength of a brittle comp...
