Abstract
An experimental approach has been used to measure the threshold stress inte nsity factor (K-th) for subcritical crack growth in brittle materials using indentation cracks. The data show that K-th values existed in soda-lime-si lica and soda-alumina-silica glasses that were tested in a neutral aqueous environment. For the former glass, tests also were performed in acidic and basic solutions, A threshold for subcritical crack growth was observed for acidic conditions but not for alkaline conditions.
