Abstract

A simulation procedure based on the spring network model has been developed for studying the fracture behavior in brittle, polycrystalline solids. In this 2-D model, the effect of crystalline symmetry is accounted for by imparting to individual bonds a constitutive relationship using the material compliance matrix. Using this model, it was found that the fracture morphology becomes more intragranular in nature with increasing modulus anisotropy. Careful analysis suggests that this is due to the wider stress distributions, and the resulting larger number of cracks generated in the interior of anisotropic grains.
