Damage initiation in brittle and ductile materials as revealed from a fractoluminescence study

A set of heterogeneous and homogeneous materials differing in their brittle and ductile characteristics (granite, marble, silica ceramics, silicon carbide, organic glass) were subjected to impact damaging by a falling weight. Multiple chemical bond ruptures produced by elastic waves propagating fr...
