Abstract

A theoretical approach to the fracture of brittle solids based on crack opening displacement and energy rate criterion is presented. The approach allows for the prediction of elastic (Young’s modulus) and fracture (fracture strength and thermal shock) response of a brittle material containing spherical pores and polycrystalline solids containing anisotropic residual stresses.
