Abstract
This chapter is intended to provide the reader with a general understanding of why brittle materials fail in a time-dependent manner in service and how to estimate the lifetimes that can be expected for such materials. In addition, we describe procedures to evaluate the confidence with which these lifetime predictions can be applied. Throughout this document, we assume that the material under investigation can be treated as isotropic and homogeneous, and that microstructural influences on properties can be ignored. Therefore, more complicated issues, such as crystallographic texture, grain-boundary phases, and R-curve behavior, lie outside the scope of this discussion and will not be addressed herein.Citation
