A Micromechanics Based Constitutive Model for Brittle Failure at High Strain Rates
Abstract
The micromechanical damage mechanics formulated by Ashby and Sammis, 1990, "The Damage Mechanics of Brittle Solids in Compression," Pure Appl. Geophys., 133(3), pp. 489–521, and generalized by Deshpande and Evans 2008, "Inelastic Deformation and Energy Dissipation in Ceramics: A Mechanism-Based Constitutive Model," J. Mech. Phys. Solids, 56(10), pp. 3077–3100. has been extended to allow for a more generalized stress state and to incorporate an experimentally motivated new crack growth (damage evolution) law that is valid over a wide range of loading rates. This law is sensitive to both the crack tip stress field and its time derivative. Incorporating this feature produces additional strain-rate sensitivity in the constitutive response. The model is also experimentally verified by predicting the failure strength of Dionysus-Pentelicon marble over strain rates ranging from ~10^(−6) to 10^3s^(−1). Model parameters determined from quasi-static experiments were used to predict the failure strength at higher loading rates. Agreement with experimental results was excellent.
