Study on mechanism of crack propagation of sapphire single crystals of four different orientations under impact load and static load
摘要： Sapphire has a wide range of applications due to its excellent physical properties. Sapphire is a typical anisotropic material, whose parts are usually employed in the complex conditions, including static and dynamic load. The mechanism of crack propagation under different loading conditions has important significance for successful application of sapphire. In this study, impact and static load tests have been performed on the A-plane, C-plane, M-plane and R-plane of sapphire by the high frequency cyclic impact test device, respectively. The force signals applied to sapphire have been obtained under different test conditions. The crack propagation has been analyzed based on the fracture morphology of specimen. It is found that sapphire will quickly crack and break under impact load, and then enter the fatigue stage. In the static load indentation tests, the force applied to sapphire seems to increase linearly with the linear increase of load, but this relationship is not yet linear in the unloading procedure. The crack propagation is affected by the crystal orientation, which leads to different characteristics of the surface morphology of the different crystal orientations sapphire after fracture. So four different models of crack system are proposed for A-plane, C-plane, M-plane and R-plane respectively. In addition, the three-dimensional morphology of sapphire is observed by a white-light interferometer. It seems that the Hertzian cone crack occurs only on the R-plane sapphire after impact load, but it cannot be sure whether the cone crack occurs when impacting A-, C-, and M-planes sapphire.

Cut edge of annealed float glass: crack system and possibilities to increase the edge strength by adjusting the cutting process
摘要： The edge strength of annealed ?oat glass is an essential aspect in engineering design. A common problem in engineering applications is the failure of the edge due to thermally induced stresses. The edge strength of annealed glass is affected by cutting, further processing and handling. Thermally treated glass exhibits higher edge strengths, but may show optically negative effects such as anisotropy and roller waves. In case of covered edges, e.g. insulating glass covered by framing, an enhanced strength of the cut edge is desirable. This paper presents results showing that enhanced strength of the cut edge is feasible and reproducible using regular cutting technology. A large part of this contribution deals with the crack system resulting from the cutting process. A deep understanding of this is essential for the relationship between cutting parameters, damage and edge strength. In addition to optical microscopic analyses, confocal microscopy and indentation tests have been carried out. The in?uence of different cutting process parameters on the edge strength was investigated within the scope of extensive analyses by the Fachverband Konstruktiver Glasbau e.V. This allowed to adjust selected process parameters so that the edge strength could be reproducibly enhanced. In this contribution the latest results of these investigations are presented. In addition, the correlation between microscopic optical characteristics and the mechanical strength as expressed by the macroscopic fracture stress is described.
