A crack propagation and fracture behaviour of particulate ceramic composite were investigated. Influence of 3D shape of particles on the crack propagation was studied together with influence of the presence of residual stresses, which are developed inside the composite during manufacturing process. Finite element (FE) method was used for numerical simulation of propagating crack in the composite. Basic numerical models of low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) with alumina particles homogenously dispersed in the glass matrix were developed. Volume fraction of alumina phase was 20vol.%, which is typical amount for LTCC. The results show that existence of residual stresses retards the crack propagating under conditions of sub-critical crack growth (SCG). Presented results contribute to a better understanding of the role of residual stresses in particulate ceramic composites.
