Nanoscale damage during fracture in silica glass

Daniel Bonamy, Silke Prades, Cindy Rountree +5

We report here atomic force microscopy experiments designed to uncover the nature of failure mechanisms occuring within the process zone at the tip of a crack propagating into a si…

Scaling exponents for fracture surfaces in homogenous glass and glassy ceramics

Daniel Bonamy, Laurent Ponson, Silke Prades +2

We investigate the scaling properties of post-mortem fracture surfaces in silica glass and glassy ceramics. In both cases, the 2D height-height correlation function is found to obe…

Crack fronts and damage in glass at the nanometer scale

C. Marliere, S. Prades, F. Celarie +4

We have studied the low speed fracture regime for different glassy materials with variable but controlled length scales of heterogeneity in a carefully mastered surrounding atmosph…

Fracture of glassy materials as detected by real-time Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) experiments

F. Celarie, S. Prades, D. Bonamy +5

We have studied the low speed fracture regime for different glassy materials with variable but controlled length scales of heterogeneity in a carefully mastered surrounding atmosph…

Glass breaks like metals, but at the nanometer scale

F. Celarie, S. Prades, D. Bonamy +4

We report in situ Atomic Force Microscopy experiments which reveal the presence of nanoscale damage cavities ahead of a stress-corrosion crack tip in glass. Their presence might ex…
