Uncertainty in modeling the fatigue life of a full-scale component using experimental data at microscopic (Level 1), specimen (Level 2), and full-size (Level 3)
This paper addresses issues of fracture for materials in which large grains, exist in a matrix of much smaller grains. Materials used for optical components

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

A simple expression is derived relating fracture surface energy to easily measured material properties, i.e., the elastic Young's modulus and the equilibrium
