Abstract
The phenomenon of stable crack growth in brittle materials is considered where stable crack growth is modeled as the formation of a bridge zone in the wake of a stably propagating main crack. The hypothesis that compressive zones surround and protect isolated ligaments under residual tension, which then leads to stable crack growth with attendant toughness enhancement, is incorporated into the bridge-zone formulation. Effects associated with...
