Downscaling of fracture energy during brittle creep experiments

We present mode 1 brittle creep fracture experiments along fracture surfaces that contain strength heterogeneities. Our observations provide a link between smooth macroscopic time‐dependent failure and intermittent microscopic stress‐dependent processes. We find the large‐scale response of slow‐prop...
