description The effect of shear stress on the dynamic failure of ceramic materials is not sufficiently investigated in the published literature. With the use of a bespoke split Hopkinson pressure bar, this paper presents an effort to investigate the dynamic shear compressive response of Macor, a model ceramic material with zero porosity and light weight characteristics. A cone specimen and cylindrical specimens with varying inclined angles are used to introduce the shear stress to the Macor ceramic. The dynamic failure initiation and crack propagation are monitored by the high speed photography and Digital Image Correlation techniques. It is found that the equivalent stress of Macor at the initiation of failure decreases nonlinearly with the increase of shear stress. The high speed images show that the crack originates from the minimum cross-section of the cone specimen and the obtuse angle corner of the inclined cylindrical specimens. The cracks propagate parallel to the inclined plane instead of the axial loading direction. The fractographic analysis shows the compacted zone in the shear fracture surfaces of the cone specimen and the inclined cylindrical specimens. This indicates a significant role of shear loading in the dynamic failure process of Macor.
