Theoretical modeling and experimental analysis of single-grain scratching mechanism of fused quartz glass

[Display omitted] •The SPH model of single grain scratching for fused quartz glasses was established.•The critical depth of the ductile-brittle transition was approximately 0.2 μm for fused quartz glasses.•The SPH model was successfully validated by single grain scratching experiments.•The mechanism...
