Summary of calculation methods for the brittleness index.

FormulaMeaning of parameters

B is the brittleness index; the lower number represents different representation; are peak stress and residual stress, respectively
is the absolute deceleration after peak, that is,
are failure strain and residual strain, respectively
are maximum tangent modulus before and after peak
