Abstract

The stress-strain behavior of microcracked polycrystalline materials (such as ceramics or rocks) under conditions of tensile, displacement-controlled, loading is discussed. Micromechanical explanation and modeling of the basic features, such as non-linearity and hysteresis in stress-strain curves, is developed, with stable microcrack propagation and “roughness” of intergranular cracks playing critical roles. Experiments involving complex loading histories were done on large- and medium grain size β-eucryptite ceramic. The model is shown to reproduce the basic features of the observed stress-strain curves.
