Dynamic loadings produce high stress waves leading to the fragmentation of brittle materials such as ceramics, concrete, glass and rocks. The transition from single fragmentation (under quasi static loading condition) to multiple fragmentation (dynamic loading) is discussed and a damage model based upon the fragmentation analysis is applied to analyze edge-on-impact of a high performnace concrete.
