Abstract: | The fracture toughness of polycrystalline ceramics used to present the scale effect as well as statistical distribution. It
is believed that both (scale effect and scatter) must be associated with the heterogeneity of materials. However, no generally
accepted theory has been established so far. Using statistical approach, a probabilistic modelling for the fracture toughness
which describes the scale effect was attempted in this paper. Weibull distribution of specific fracture energy (SFE) at local
area and Griffith criterion are jointly applied to the model. Finally, the fracture toughness scale dependence of ASTM E399
standard specimens was investigated by the newly developed model. |
