Abstract
The paper reports on a study to investigate the influence of load intensity and material structure on statistical regularities of fragmentation in ZrO2-based ceramics differing in porosity. The study was performed on a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar system and allowed a comparative analysis of dynamic stress-strain curves and statistical characteristics of fragmentation such as distributions of emitted light pulses (fractoluminescence) and fragment sizes. It is shown that increasing the ceramic porosity changes both the form of stress-strain curves and the pulse distribution. In ceramic specimens with up to 45% porosity, the pulse distribution is described by a bimodal power law; in ceramic specimens with 60% porosity, by a power law. The fragment size distribution in the material corresponds to a power law with the exponent dependent on porosity and load intensity.
