The phenomenon of stable crack growth in brittle materials is considered where stable crack growth is modeled as the formation of an elongated process zone of microcracks and isolated intact ligaments ahead of a stationary main crack. The role of residual stress in protecting the intact ligaments is

## Abatraet-Yokobori and colleagues have treated timedependent fracture, such as fatigue and creep fracture, as a stochastic process and a thermally activated process, extended the studies, and proposed the crack growth rate equations for fracture of various kinds. Among those for high temperature
Using the analysis method of the Dugdale-Barenblatt model and considering the rapid stress drop and strain softening of material, the fracture process zone at the near tip of a mode-I crack in a brittle damaged material is studied. It is pointed out that under external loads a narrow strip zone of d
