Abstract
Glass fracture and changes in bending load were investigated by the quasi-static loading method which is characterized by holding a fixed time at each displacement level and incrementally applying displacement. Holding time at each step was 60 s and the incremental displacement was 0.02 mm as the load condition. Ordinary soda-lime-silicate float glass of 50 × 10 × 4 mm was used as the specimen. The glass fracture occurred as the bending load decreased with time, which might be explained using the occurrence of time-dependent fracture and function as a viscoelastic property even at room temperature. Fracture properties of alumina ceramics have the possibility to be closer to float glass than silicon carbide which is called general ceramics.
