Abstract
⺠The behaviour of cracked eggs exposed to sub-atmospheric pressure was studied. ⺠The eggshell membrane plays an important role in the expansion of existing cracks. ⺠Small pressure drops cause only membrane stretching and reversible crack expansion. âºÂ Large pressure drop cause membrane tearing and irreversible crack expansion. ⺠The air cell enclosed at the blunt-end plays an important role in the crack expansion.
