THE USE OF NONLOCAL CRITERIA IN FORECASTING FRACTURE OF QUASI-BRITTLE MATERIAL WITH A HOLE UNDER COMPRESSION

The study is aimed at the development of the new failure criteria for quasi-brittle materials in conditions of stress concentration. The possibility of using non-local failure criteria for description of the brittle, quasi-brittle and ductile fracture of the materials with notches is analyzed. The general feature of these criteria consists in the introduction of the internal dimension characterizing the structure of the material, which provides the possibility of describing a large-scale effect in conditions of the stress concentration and thereby expand the area of their application compared to traditional criteria though it is limited to the cases of brittle or quasi-brittle fracture with a small pre-ffacture zone. To broaden the scope of their application to quasi-brittle fracture with a developed pre-fracture zone we propose to abandon the hypothesis about the size of the pre-fracture zone as a constant related only to the structure of the material. A number of the new nonlocal criteria, which are the development of the criteria of the mean stress and fictitious crack, are developed, substantiated from the physical standpoint, and proved experimentally. These criteria contain a complex parameter characterizing the size of the pre-fracture zone and taking into account not only the structure, but also the ductile properties of the material, specimen geometry and loading conditions. The expressions for the critical pressure in the problem of tensile crack formation upon compression of the samples of geomaterials with a circular hole are derived. The results of calculations match rather well the experimental data on the destruction of drilled gypsum slabs.
