The fracture mechanics basis of fracture energies is considered through micromechanical phenomena in the crack tip frontal process zone, the following crack wake and crack bridging regions of brittle materials, such as cement-based materials, rocks, ceramics, and ceramic composites.

Microstructural observations of brittle materials indicated that a variety of microdefect events can be responsible not only for inelastic behaviour, but also for macroscopic crack front irregularity. This irregularity produces an increase in the fracture toughness of the material. In this paper, th
The quasistatic development of a system of cracks is investigated by writing the fracture criteria as variational inequalities, which enable the extension of (:he crack to be followed as a function of the time-like loading parameter. The interaction of cracks and their stability or avalanche-like gr
