Static Creep Micro-Macro Fracture Mechanics of Brittle Solids

This book gathers a large amount of recent research results on this topic to better understand the static creep micromacro fracture mechanics in brittle solids (e.g., glass, ceramic, concrete, ice, and rock). To be precise, this is about to explore the effects of the external factors of stress paths, water content, seepage pressure, dynamic disturbance, thermal treated temperature, and the internal factors of crack angle, size, recovery, and nucleation coalescence on the static creep fracture mechanical properties in brittle solids. This book provides important theoretical support in evaluation for long-term lifetime in the brittle solid engineering (e.g., deep underground engineering, architecture engineering, aerospace engineering, and mechanical manufacturing engineering).

Presents a micromacro-mechanical method of static creep fracture to evaluate the lifetime in brittle solids Identifies the effects of environment and microcrack factors on the static creep fracture in brittle solids Provides the relationship between static creep microcrack variation and fracture mechanical properties in brittle solids
