Original Abstract

Crack initiation in brittle materials upon spherical indentation is associated with the tensile radial stresses during loading. However, location of crack onset often differs (offset) from the site of maximal stress. In addition, experiments reveal a strong dependency of crack initiation forces on geometrical parameters as well as the surface condition of the sample. In this work, a coupled stress-energy fracture criterion is introduced to describe the initiation of ring cracks in brittle materials, which takes into account the geometry of the contact and the inherent strength and fracture toughness of the material. Several experiments reported in literature are evaluated and compared. The criterion can explain the location offset of the ring crack upon loading, as observed in various ceramics and glasses. It also predicts the ring crack initiation force upon contact loading, provided that surface compressive stresses, introduced during grinding or polishing processes, are taken into account. Furthermore, the stress-energy criterion may be employed to estimate the surface residual stress of ceramic parts, based on simple contact damage experiments.
