Abstract
Effect of X-ray irradiation on failure by uniaxial compression for nat ural or artificial alkali halide polycrystals was studied. A decrease in strength usually observed when alkali halide crystals are moistened was substantially enhanced when the polycrystals were preliminarily e xposed to X-rays. The decrease in strength was accompanied by an incre ase in the proportion of intercrystalline failure.
