DESCRIPTION:Various quasi-static and dynamic tests\, including Brazilian t
 est\, semi-circular bending test\, uniaxial compression and punch loading 
 tests\, are used to study the mechanical properties of a low-strength\, br
 ittle highly-particle-filled composite. Digital image correlation (DIC) te
 chnique is applied to study the macro-micro deformation and fracture behav
 ior of the composite\, by which the displacement fields\, strain fields an
 d failure process can be measured. The deformation and failure mechanisms 
 of the composite will be discussed based on the experimental measurement a
 nd microstructure-based meso-sacle numerical simulation.
