Measuring slow crack propagation data in small slices of brittle materials, elongations were cemented to both sides giving a four-point bend specimen. A method of introducing a definite sharp crack was employed to enable displacement-controlled fracture experiments to be performed. For the evaluation of the load-displacement plots of controlled fracture experiments an experimental compliance calibration was done for measuring crack length from compliance. The method to determine the curve of crack resistance against crack velocity was tested with window glass, giving good agreement between measurements on homogeneous and cemented specimens, if internal stresses from preparation are negligible.
