Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2011.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 139-143).This research study investigates the cracking processes in a brittle material associated with inclusions of varying shape, orientation and materials. Specifically, this study summarizes a series of uniaxial compression tests on gypsum specimens with varying inclusion materials, shapes and pair configurations using high speed imagery to determine cracking behavior. The inclusions in the study consisted of differing materials, of contrasting Young's Modulus (higher and lower than the matrix), shapes (hexagon, diamond, ellipse), and relative pair orientati...
