Reply to Comment on: Flexural Strength by Fractography in Modern Brittle Materials

WE thank Mecholsky et al. 1 for their intense interest in our paper and their appreciation of the great importance and novelty of our results. We are also grateful for this opportunity to place our findings in a more comprehensive context to better discuss their comments. Orr is normally credited with developing the now commonly used equation relating the strength of brittle materials to the mi...

I thankLockner et al. [this issue], hereafter referred to as LBS, for their interest in this work. LBS suggest that I [Marone, 1995] misunderstood their analysis and that their proposed empirical relation is indeed valid. I do not agree. I do not deny that LBS have established some form of empirical relationship, only the specific form of the relation and its theoretical basis are at issue. The...

In our paper " Can disorder induce a finite thermal conductivity in 1D lattices? " (Phys. we have pointed out two important things. First, the disorder can induce a finite thermal conductivity in lower temperature regime. Second, our numerical calculations with Noo´se-Hoover thermostats shown that a unique nonequilibrium stationary state may not exist in a disorder harmonic chain. In his commen...
