The object of this paper was to analyze the crystal aspect ratio (AR), the fracture toughness, and the fractal dimension of 3Ba0.5Si02 glass-ceramics and to relate the topography of fracture surfaces to fractal behaviour. These analyses demonstrate that crystal morphology strongly affects the fracture path, the fracture toughness, and the fractal dimension.
