Fracture Strength Of Glass Analysed By Different Testing Procedures

Theoretical relations between the fracture strength of glass specimens subjected to different testing procedures are reviewed. The following techniques are analysed: pure bending, three and four point bending and the Brazilian disk test. A full derivation is presented for the Brazilian disk test. The relative severity of each testing technique is discussed.
