      ABSTRACT

      An interface edge is the likeliest site of fracture initiation because

      of the stress singularity due to modulus mismatch. As illustrated

      in Fig. 6.1, the singular stress (stress-concentrated) region near the

      interface edge proportionally scales down (Becker et al., 1997) in

      a continuum media as the size of a component becomes small. In

      a component with single-micrometer or nanometer size, the region

      governed by the singular field is confined in the nanoscale (Kiramura

      et al., 2002, 2003). In such a case, the applicability of fracture

      mechanics to the crack initiation from the edge is questionable

      because the concept is built on continuummechanics.
