The Numerical Study of Fracture and Strength Characteristics of Heterogeneous Brittle Materials under Dynamic Loading

摘要

In the present paper the multiscale approach to the construction of rheological models of brittle materials with heterogeneous internal structure is implemented within the numerical method of movable cellular automata. An example of application of the implemented approach to determine the mechanical properties (including parameters of the rheological model and strength) of brittle materials with complicated internal structure at both macroscopic and mesoscopic scales is described. The effect of strain rate on brittle materials behavior under uniaxial compression and tension is analyzed.
