Abstract
Brittle materials such as, rocks, concrete, and high-performance concrete, glass, ceramics, and ice are materials abundantly present in our everyday life and materials involved in many industrial applications or in various protective solutions. Achieving a good understanding of their strain-rate sensitivity in relation with their microstructure remains a major issue. In addition, the development of micromechanics-based models is of major importance in view of improving the predictive capabilities of analytical and numerical models and in order to better explain the role of material parameters involved in the strain rate and pressure sensitivity of brittle materials.
