    AnnotationSpecific silicon nitride based materials are considered according to certain practical requirements of process, the influence of the grain size and orientation on the bridging mechanisms was found. Crack-bridging mechanisms can provide substantial increases in toughness coupled with the strength in ceramics. The prediction of the crack propagation through interface elements based on the fracture mechanics approach and cohesive zone model is investigated and from the amount of damage models the cohesive models seem to be especially attractive for the practical applications. Using cohesive models the behaviour of materials is realized by two types of elements. The former is the element for classical continuum and the latter is the connecting cohesive element. Within the standard finite element package Abaqus a new finite element has been developed; it is written via the UEL (user’s element) procedure. Its shape can be very easily modified according to the experimental data for the set of ceramics and composites. The new element seems to be very stable from the numerical point a view. The shape of the traction separation law for three experimental materials is estimated from the macroscopic tests, J–R curve is predicted and stability of the bridging law is tested.
