What happens to fracture energy in brittle fracture? Revisiting the Griffith assumption
<p>Laboratory experiments involving unconfined compressive failure of borosilicate glass cylinders quantified the elastic strain energy released at failure and the size distribution of the resulting fragments. The data were carefully assessed for potential inaccuracies in surface-area calculat...
