Dynamic fracture behavior of single and contacting Poly(methyl methacrylate) particles
Abstract
Fracture behaviors of single, two, and multiple contacting spherical Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles were recorded using high speed synchrotron X-ray phase contrast imaging. A miniaturized Kolsky bar setup was used to apply dynamic compressive loading on the PMMA particles. In both single and two particle experiments, cracking initiated near the center of the particles and propagated towards the contacts. The crack bifurcated near the contact points for single particle experiments, thus forming conical fragments. The crack bifurcation and subsequent conical fragment formation was observed only at the particle-particle contact for two particle experiments. The particles were observed to fracture in hemispherical fragments normal to the contact plane in the multiparticle experiments. The observed failure mechanisms strongly suggest that the maximum tensile stress near the center of the particle is the critical parameter governing fracture of the particles. Moreover, the compressive stress under the contact areas led to the bifurcation and subsequent conical fragment formation.
