Role of cracks in creep of brittle, polycrystalline, structural ceramics

An analytical study was conducted of the effect of cracks on creep of polycrystalline, brittle structural ceramics. Two independent mechanisms of contribution of cracks were defined. The mechanism of elastic creep by crack growth represents the rate of increase in strain, with time, resulting from t...
