Hybrid Finite-Discrete Element Modeling of the Mode I Tensile Response of an Alumina Ceramic

We have developed a three-dimensional hybrid finite-discrete element model to investigate the mode I tensile opening failure of alumina ceramic. This model implicitly considers the flaw system in the material and explicitly shows the macroscopic failure patterns. A single main crack perpendicular to...
