Abstract
Experiments involving the fragmentation of SiC during both quasistatic and high-rate compressive loading are described. Measured fragment size distributions are considered in terms of current ideas regarding high strain rate damage and microfracture. It is concluded that both crack dynamics and crack nucleation via plastic flow mechanisms may be important elements in the failure process.
