Micromechanics of a model heterogeneous material system under compressive loading
Compressive loading is often encountered in mining and mineral processes during the comminution of ore bearing minerals, or alternatively, in the...

Dynamic-compression fatigue of hot-pressed silicon-nitride
This paper presents a technique to study dynamic compression fatigue of hard ceramics. In this technique, a split-Hopkinson-compression-bar apparatus...

Fracturing in Anisotropic Solids
The general problem of crack growth in an anisotropic solid is examined for the case when the crack edges are parallel to an axis, e.g., the x... -
The Tensile and Compressive Fracture of Ice
The brittle fracture of ice under uniaxial tension and compression is discussed in terms of the nucleation and the propagation of internal cracks.... -
Microfracture and The Compressive Failure of Polycrystalline Ice
This paper discusses strain rate and grain size effects on the process of microcrack nucleation in freshwater polycrystalline ice. It also examines... -
Fracture Mechanics Models of Ice-Structure Interaction
Fracture mechanics models can explain some observed features of ice loading, among them anomalous “size effects” and the low forces seen in...
