“…As noted above, from the point of view of material mechanics, the heterogeneous structure of rock and similar materials is characterized by a nonlinear load–displacement relation. This dependence is an external manifestation of the internal processes of interaction of the aforementioned grains at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels, i.e., this dependence indirectly reflects all stages of rock behavior as a brittle material and is therefore of paramount importance for predicting the strength and fracture of rocks and similar materials [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. To model the behavior of such materials, we will use the basic ideas of fracture mechanics [ 23 , 24 ], in which the key role in justifying the analytical load–displacement relation is played by the choice of the damage variable (

), which determines the fraction of damaged material depending on its deformed state.…”

This paper discusses modeling the behavior and prediction of fracture of brittle materials. Numerous publications show that progress in this area is characterized by the emergence of a number of new models that meet the requirements of the mining industry, construction and other engineering practices. The authors focus only on one class of models, paying special attention to the compromise between simplicity of solution and versatility of the model. A new version of the model is proposed, taking into account the advantages of previous models. We present a differential energy criterion for brittle fracture substantiated, according to which, fracture occurs at a certain ratio of dissipated and stored (elastic) energy. Fracture is considered as the end of the deformation process with a virtual transformation of the initial material almost without cracks into a real material with cracks. The highest and lowest elastic moduli are analytically determined, respectively, on the ascending and descending branches of the stress–strain curve. A graphical version of the algorithm for determining the brittle fracture point on the post-peak branch of the stress–strain curve is proposed. The modeling results are consistent with the experimental data known from the literature.

This article deals with the problem of predicting the brittle fracture of rocks and similar materials, which can also include frozen sandy soils. Such materials, due to the diversity of their conditions of origin, are characterized by natural heterogeneity at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels, which makes it difficult to develop sufficiently universal criteria for their strength. Despite a number of known models and criteria of strength and fracture, the search for such criteria remains an urgent problem. In this paper, using the energy approach to the mathematical modeling of mechanical systems, the fracture criterion is justified, which differs from the known criteria that do not require integration to calculate the strain energy We and dissipation energy Wd. The well-known relation for the input energy W=We+Wd is used. The object of the study was the ratio of dW=dWe+dWd. The main research question concerned what the ratio of dWe and dWd would be at the point of brittle failure. The search for an answer to the question led to the justification of a differential energy criterion for the failure of brittle materials on the descending branch of the full stress–strain curve. It was found that the point of predicted fracture is determined by the equality σ=0.5 εEtangential (if there is an inflection point on the ascending branch) or σ=0.5 εEsecant_secant. The main result of the work was ascertaining the differential strength and fracture criteria of brittle materials in the form of inequalities and equations, which were oriented for application in engineering calculations. Examples of application of the developed criteria are given; their consistency with the experimental data known from the literature confirmed.
