Delayed Fracture under Increasing Load Constant Stress Rate Tests

2 Delayed Fracture under Increasing Load Constant Stress Rate Tests 

SCCG also influences loading situations in which the stress is not constant. A simple example of this is a test where the stress increases linearly with time (constant stress rate test o = a t). In this case, the left-hand side of Eq. (23) can also be integrated analytically and, after some rearrangement of the formulae, is obtained
