TY - CONF A1 - Waurischk, Tina T1 - Internal friction and energy dissipation during crack propagation in silicate glasses N2 - To obtain a deeper insight into the nature of energy dissipation during crack propagation, the internal friction of 13 borosilicate, aluminosilicate, soda-lime, and lead-containing glasses, for which inert crack growth data are available in the literature, was measured using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. For asymmetrically bent glass beams, the loss tangent tanΓ was determined between 0.2 and 50 Hz at temperatures between 273 K and the glass transition temperature Tg. It was found that the area under the tanΓ vs. T/Tg curve correlates with the crack growth exponent, n, in the empirical v ~ KIn relation between crack growth velocity, v, and stress intensity, KI. This correlation was most distinct for T/Tg < 0.3, still clear for T/Tg < 0.5, but not found for T/Tg > 0.8. The observed results indicate that n correlates with the degree of energy dissipation of relaxation phenomena below Tg.
