Abstract
We derive a new relation between the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL) of brittle materials and their compressive strength (Yc). This relation is based on Griffith’s yield criterion [Proceedings of the 1st Conference on Applied Mechanics, Delft, Holland (1924), p. 55] for brittle behavior in contrast with the traditional relation, which is based on the criteria of Tresca or von Mises. Our newly derived relation results in a larger ratio between the HEL and Yc, in agreement with all the experimental observations on polycrystalline ceramics.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
