Fracture mechanics has provided the means for making failure predictions regarding the lifetime of a glass or ceramic component in service. The background necessary for making these failure calculations from crack velocity and fatigue strength data is presented. The analysis of these types of data gives conservative failure predictions for soda‐lime glass in water. Also, how these fracture mechanics concepts (with the appropriate experimental data) can be used as an index to the fatigue resistance of a material is described.
