Muhtasari	Griffith's theory of brittle fracture explains how small flaws or cracks in materials grow unstably, leading to sudden catastrophic failure. Formulated by Alan A. Griffith in 1921 through experiments on glass fibers, this theory balances the elastic energy released by crack growth against the surface energy required to create new material surfaces. It predicts that materials fail at stresses far below their theoretical strength due to the stress concentration around pre-existing flaws.	Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is the regime of fluid film lubrication in which elastic deformation of the surfaces plays a crucial role in maintaining a fluid layer between sliding or rolling surfaces. In applications like roller bearings and gears, the contact pressure is extremely high, causing the lubricant viscosity to increase dramatically and the surfaces to deform elastically. EHL theory, developed rigorously by Dowson and Higginson, predicts the film thickness, pressure distribution, and friction in these heavily loaded contacts.
