Abstract
Equations for static fatigue in brittle solids are derived, based on the ideas of Hillig and Charles, but we used a different log reaction velocity-stress relationship. The equations agree well with the functional dependence of failure time on stress and values of the stress-sensitivity factor found experimentally. Variations in failure times with sample history and glass composition can only partly be explained by the equations.
