Abstract
The results of biaxial compression tests of silica-based nonmetals by a procedure developed earlier were analyzed. The failure loci are shown to satisfactorily agree (within 15%) with the theoretical ones plotted by the equations derived from the relation experimentally established earlier and additionally corroborated in this work, viz. the limiting stress conditions of a brittle material in the third quadrant of the coordinate plane set in, with the specific strain energy or its components (volume strain energy or distortion strain energy) achieving maximum values which are linear functions of the principal stress ratio.
