Abstract
We study deformation and fracture of a brittle material under mixed quasi-static loading. Numerical simulations of deformation of a cubic sample containing a single crack are carried out using the particle dynamics method. Effect of ratio of compressive and shear loads on energy of fracture initiation is investigated for two crack shapes and various crack orientations. The energy of fracture initiation in a material containing multiple cracks is estimated using the non-interaction approximation. It is shown that in the case of mixed loading (compression and shear) the energy is significantly lower than in the case of pure compression. Presented results may serve for minimization of energy consumption during disintegration of solid minerals.
