dc.descriptionWe present experiments on the slow growth of a single crack in a fax paper sheet submitted to a constant force $F$. We find that statistically averaged crack growth curves can be described by only two parameters : the mean rupture time $τ$ and a characteristic growth length $ζ$. We propose a model based on a thermally activated rupture process that takes into account the microstructure of cellulose fibers. The model is able to reproduce the shape of the growth curve, the dependence of $ζ$ on $F$ as well as the effect of temperature on the rupture time $τ$. We find that the length scale at which rupture occurs in this model is consistently close to the diameter of cellulose microfibrils.
