A layer structure consisting of two glass plates bonded with polymer-based adhesives and loaded at the upper surface with a line-wedge indenter is used to evaluate crack containment. Two adhesives are used, a low-modulus epoxy resin and a particle-filled composite. The adhesives arrest indentation-induced transverse cracks at the first interface. A substantially higher load is required to resume propagation...
Strength properties are determined for monocrystalline silicon and sapphire and for soda-lime glass plates containing subthreshold flaws, i.e. flaws without detectable microcracks. Nanoindentations covering a wide range of loads are used to introduce flaws of predetermined sizes into highly polished or etched surfaces, to enable systematic study of the transition from the postthreshold to subthreshold...
