The failure was caused by fatigue (multi-site damage).THEORETICAL CLEAVAGE STRESSTHEORETICAL CLEAVAGE STRESSσrereλ/2FRACTURE STRESSStress Concentrationhttp://www.mrl.ucsb.edu/~edkramer/LectureVGsMat100B/99Lecture21VGs/StressConcentrationVG.htmlMaterials in Principle and PracticeStress ConcentrationEXPERIMENTAL FRACTURE STRESSResults of Griffiths Experiments on Glass
