Compressive Splitting in Brittle Solids: The Inverse of Wrinkling in Sheets

Maryam Khodadad, Francois Barthelat, John D. Clayton +2

Axial splitting is the dominant failure mode of brittle solids under compression, yet its mechanical origin remains unclear. We show that clamped loading platens suppress lateral P…
