The paper deals with investigation of the interaction between an edge - crack and an aggregate in a silicate - based composite, because adding of aggregates into basic matrix material can improve the fracture mechanical properties of the material significantly. In this work, the three - point - bending test is modelled by means of the finite element method and the dependences of fracture parameters on various material and geometrical parameters of the aggregate and the interfacial transition zone are studied. The results are discussed thoroughly.
