Under cyclic loads, cracks go through an initiation and propagation phase, untill the residual strength is too low to hold the stress load.
Impact cracks behave totally different from stress cracks. A metallurgist knows that. That is, for metals. I don't know what a metallurgist knows about mud cracking open.

Thanks, Nicolas. I was trying to be "nice" in what I wrote. Being blunt about Jerry's lack of knowledge in this area will perhaps be more effective.
This whole silly thing is getting me "fatigued". Time to hop on Young's Modulus and ride back to reality. 8)
