Abstract
Linear elasticity theory is used to describe the stresses around indentations in hard, brittle materials. Unorthodox plasticity theory is introduced, and related to two simple elastic fields. These, combined in varying proportions, are shown to be consistent with many of the crack patterns observed in glasses and ceramics.Keywords
