Crack front pinning by design in planar heterogeneous interfaces
The propagation of an interfacial crack front along the weak plane of a thin film stack is considered. A simple patterning technique is used to create a toughness contrast within this perfectly two-dimensional weak interface. The transparency of the specimens allows us to directly observe the propagation of the purely planar crack obtained during a DCB (Double Cleavage Beam) test. The effect on...
متن کاملSelf-affine roughness of a crack front in heterogeneous media.
The long-range elastic model, which is believed to describe the evolution of a self-affine rough crack front, is analyzed to linear and nonlinear orders. It is shown that the nonlinear terms, while important in changing the front dynamics, do not change the scaling exponent which characterizes the roughness of the front. The scaling exponent thus predicted by the model is much smaller than the ...
متن کاملNanomechanics of Crack Front Mobility
Minimum energy paths for unit advancement of a crack front are determined by reaction pathway sampling, thus providing the reaction coordinates for the analysis of crack tip mechanics in ductile and brittle materials. We compare results on activation energy barrier and atomic displacement distributions for an atomically sharp crack in Cu, where one observes the emission of a partial dislocation...
متن کاملFinite size effects on crack front pinning at heterogeneous planar interfaces: Experimental, finite elements and perturbation approaches
Understanding the role played by the microstructure of materials on their macroscopic failure properties is an important challenge in solid mechanics. Indeed, when a crack propagates at a heterogeneous brittle interface, the front is trapped by tougher regions and deforms. This pinning induces non-linearities in the crack propagation problem, even within Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics theory...
متن کاملAverage crack-front velocity during subcritical fracture propagation in a heterogeneous medium.
We study the average velocity of crack fronts during stable interfacial fracture experiments in a heterogeneous quasibrittle material under constant loading rates and during long relaxation tests. The transparency of the material (polymethylmethacrylate) allows continuous tracking of the front position and relation of its evolution to the energy release rate. Despite significant velocity fluctu...
