Scaling of Fracture Strength in Disordered Quasi-Brittle Materials
This paper presents two main results. The first result indicates that in materials with broadly distributed microscopic heterogeneities, the fracture strength distribution corresponding to the peak load of the material response does not follow the commonly used Weibull and (modified) Gumbel distributions. Instead, a lognormal distribution describes more adequately the fracture strengths corresp...
متن کاملThe Breaking of Brittle Materials
A long metal thread breaks more easily than a short one—an observation Leonardo da Vinci made in the 15th century. It all comes down to simple statistics: the larger an object, the more likely it is to contain a region that breaks when subject to stress. The fracture properties of brittle materials also depend on the disorder in their underlying structure: a homogeneous material like glass brea...
متن کاملCrack initiation in brittle materials
In this paper we study the crack initiation in a hyper-elastic body governed by a Griffith’s type energy. We prove that, during a load process through a time dependent boundary datum of the type t → tg(x) and in absence of strong singularities (this is the case of homogeneous isotropic materials) the crack initiation is brutal, i.e., a big crack appears after a positive time ti > 0. On the cont...
متن کامل4 Effective toughness of heterogeneous brittle materials
A heterogeneous brittle material characterized by a random field of local toughness K c (x) can be represented by an equivalent homogeneous medium of toughness, K eff. Homogenization refers to a process of estimating K eff from the local field K c (x). An approach based on a perturbative expansion of the stress intensity factor along a rough crack front shows the occurrence of different regimes...
متن کاملReply 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...
