Prediction of the Crack Resistance of Cement Stone and Fibrous Concrete

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We propose a computational model for the prediction of the crack resistance of fibrous composites produced on the basis of a cement matrix. We establish the main factors contributing to the resistance of a composite material to crack propagation. A simple engineering dependence is deduced for finding the characteristic of crack resistance K IC , which enables one to purposefully form the optimal composition of the material.
