Crack-growth rates measured under cyclic loading for 6P61 glass are compared with predictions of growth rates under fatigue loading based on data from static crack-growth rates computed for two cases: i) no hydrodynamic forces acting at crack flanks, ii) the crack tip at the mean load throughout the applied loading cycle. These results show that for no shielding, the predictions overestimate cyclic crack-growth rates while with high shielding the cyclic growth rates are underpredicted.
