Based on fundamental ideas in tribology and basic concept of stress state in solid mechanics, the existence of frictional force on shear plane is discussed under uniaxial compression of brittle materials. On account of macroscopic fracture forms and mesoscopic fracture mechanisms, the key factors influencing shear fracture angle are analyzed. The results show that, when brittle materials are compressed and shear fracture occurs, shear fracture surface at the crack initiation point is consistent with the maximum shear stress. But the reason of shear fracture angle examined in experiment greater than 45º lies in that, the existence of frictional force between endface of specimen and pressure head of testing machine, and additional tensile stress produced in the materials when harder crystalline grain wedge in softer medium have changed original uniaxial compression stress state and the direction of maximum shear stress on next fracture path.

Different Shapes

Several experiments undertaken on cement and mortar samples with internal cracks of different shapes and sizes demonstrated that 3-D cracks growth in compression was qualitatively different from the 2-D cases. This paper employs pre-existing cracks in frozen PMMA（polymethylmethacrylate plastic） which are produced by the mechanical method to analyze the evolution of the boundary effect of PMMA and to study the mechanisms of cracks growth and coalescence. In the experiments, 3-D cracks are tested under uniaxial compression and finally draw two conclusions about failure mechanisms of PMMA and brittle materials.

A diversity of quasi-brittle materials can be observed in various engineering structures and natural objects (rocks, frozen soil, concrete, ceramics, bones, etc.). In order to predict the condition and safety of these objects, a large number of studies aimed at analyzing the strength of quasi-brittle materials has been conducted and presented in publications. However, at the modeling level, the problem of estimating the rate and acceleration of destruction of a quasi-brittle material under loading remains relevant. The purpose of the study was to substantiate the function of damage to a quasi-brittle material under uniaxial compression, determine the rate, acceleration and jerk of the damage process, and also to apply the results obtained to predicting the destruction of trabecular bone tissue. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the basic concepts of fracture mechanics and standard methods of mathematical modeling were used. The proposed model is based on the application of the previously obtained differentiable damage function without parameters. The results of the study are presented in the form of plots and analytical relations for computing the rate, acceleration and jerk of the damage process. Examples are given. The predicted peak of the combined effect of rate, acceleration and jerk of the damage process are found to be of practical interest as an additional criterion for destruction. The simulation results agree with the experimental data known from the available literature.

The new simple and effective grid remeshing method on crack propagation in brittle materials is successfully introduced which is under uniaxial compression. Numerical analysis is applied to brittle materials of a single pre-existing crack considering various dip angles, lengths and friction coefficient. According to linear elastic fracture mechanics theory, we introduce node moving method to guarantee the good shape of the grid in the process of crack growth, and set contact element between the friction surfaces, and then get the crack tip stress intensity factor by using quarter singular element. The influence of length, angle and friction coefficient on crack propagation is quantitatively described. The method is consistent with the experimental results and is effective in 2D problems.

Ceramics, such as Al2O3 and SiC have numerous current and potential uses in applications where high temperature strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required often in corrosive environments. These materials are, however, highly anisotropic and brittle, so that their mechanical behavior is often unpredictable. The further development of these materials will require a better understanding of the basic mechanisms controlling deformation, wear, and fracture.The purpose of this talk is to describe applications of TEM to the study of the deformation, wear, and fracture of Al2O3. Similar studies are currently being conducted on SiC and the techniques involved should be applicable to a wide range of hard, brittle materials.
