AbstractIn order to make sense of the dynamic response of brittle materials under the certain range of impact strength, the numerical simulation for two kinds of representative ones glass and ceramic are conducted, in which the elastic micro-crack damage model is used. The plane impact experiments of ceramic and glass are summarized, which are used to compare with the simulation results. The simulation results show that the dynamic responses of brittle materials, failure wave and the plastic-like response appeared in glass and ceramic respectively are depended on their micro-cracks distribution in meso-scale. And moreover, both of failure wave and the plastic-like response are controlled by the same mechanism, and the different phenomena are just influenced by the size and distribution of the micro-cracks.

A new failure model was developed to describe the failure wave formation and propagation in shocked glass. The progressive percolation of microcracks into the stressed body gives rise to the failure wave phenomenon which could be regarded as a diffusion process. The propagation of failure front is governed by a nonlinear diffusion equation. The dynamic damage constitutive relation is built up to compute the stress state in the material through the failure process. Numerical results are presented and compared to lateral stress gauge measurements in shocked glasses. It is shown that the proposed model can capture the essence of the failure wave phenomenon.

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.
