Abstract
The high strain-rate behaviour of ceramic composites (CCs) results from the complexity of their internal microstructure. The CCs are built of mixtures of different phases joined by various technological processes. Usually, CCs contain small amounts of porosity and technological defects. The phases can exhibit purely elastic behaviour or elastic–plastic one under a high level of loading. The paper describes experimental tests performed with Split Hopkinson Pressure (SHPB) of exemplary ceramic samples and proposes a correlation based on mesocrack formation with this type of loading. Therefore, a multiscale model of microcracking processes for high strain rate is proposed and related to time.
