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

## Abstract Few engineering materials are limited by their strength; rather they are limited by their resistance to fracture or fracture toughness. It is not by accident that most critical structures, such as bridges, ships, nuclear pressure vessels and so forth, are manufactured from materials tha
Layered materials, such as sedimentary rocks, are ubiquitous. A newly developed fracture toughness test specimen, which is semi-circular in shape and contains an edge-crack, is subjected to three-point-bend loading. The fracture load and the fracture energy of a layered rock are then measured with s
Fracture toughness of unidirectional ferromagnetic fiber reinforced ferroelectric matrix composite was studied based on the energy approach in a view of large scale. A half space edge crack with crack face perpendicular to the external fields was considered. The energy release rate was derived expli
