From brittle to ductile fracture in disordered materials.
We introduce a lattice model able to describe damage and yielding in heterogeneous materials ranging from brittle to ductile ones. Ductile fracture surfaces, obtained when the system breaks once the strain is completely localized, are shown to correspond to minimum energy surfaces. The similarity of the resulting fracture paths to the limits of brittle fracture or minimum energy surfaces is qua...
متن کاملScaling of Fracture Strength in Disordered Quasi-Brittle Materials
This paper presents two main results. The first result indicates that in materials with broadly distributed microscopic heterogeneities, the fracture strength distribution corresponding to the peak load of the material response does not follow the commonly used Weibull and (modified) Gumbel distributions. Instead, a lognormal distribution describes more adequately the fracture strengths corresp...
متن کاملEngineering ductile fracture in brittle-matrix composites
This letter describes a newly discovered phenomenon: ductile fracture in cementitious materials. The brittle nature of materials such as concrete and ceramics has prompted the development of various approaches to enhance their fracture toughness. Fibre reinforcement has been the common focus in the toughening of the brittle materials. Two types of fracture have been observed to date in cementit...
متن کاملFracture in Disordered Brittle Media
This thesis consists of three main chapters, an introduction, and an appendix. The introduction (chapter 1) gives a general historical introduction to the problem of brittle fracture in disordered media. Chapters 2 and 4 are concerned with various aspects of fracture in disordered fuse networks. Chapter 2 investigates the asymptotic properties of fracture strength distributions, and explores th...
متن کاملDuctile or Partial Ductile Mode Machining of Brittle Materials
This paper reports ductile or partial ductile mode machining of silicon, glass and some advanced ceramics. Results are presented using scanning electron micrographs of the machined surfaces. Grinding and lapping operations using inexpensive machine tools could produce ductile streaks on surfaces of these brittle materials under good conditions. Manufacture of spherical glass lenses by the fract...
