Experimental Investigation of Thermally Induced Interacting Cracks in Brittle Solids
AbstracbThe results of an experimental investigation of thermally induced parallel edge cracks in a half-plane consisting of brittle material are reported. A free edge of a glass plate heated to a uniform temperature, was brought in contact with a liquid bath cooled by dry ice. The thermal contraction of the boundary layer produced interacting tension cracks. When no initial cracks existed, a l...
متن کاملA multiscale coupling method for the modeling of dynamics of solids with application to brittle cracks
We present a multiscale model for numerical simulations of dynamics of crystalline solids. The method combines the continuum nonlinear elasto-dynamics model, which models the stress waves and physical loading conditions, and molecular dynamics model, which provides the nonlinear constitutive relation and resolves the atomic structures near local defects. The coupling of the two models is achiev...
متن کاملArrested cracks in nonlinear lattice models of brittle fracture.
We generalize lattice models of brittle fracture to arbitrary nonlinear force laws and study the existence of arrested semi-infinite cracks. Unlike what is seen in the discontinuous case studied to date, the range in driving displacement for which these arrested cracks exist is very small. Also, our results indicate that small changes in the vicinity of the crack tip can have an extremely large...

متن کاملMechanisms for fragment formation in brittle solids.
A model for mode I fracture in brittle materials is used to elucidate the relationship between characteristics of the fracture process, such as crack roughness, fractal dimension, and fragment size distributions. It is shown that different roughness in local regions of the crack path leads to different mechanisms for the subsequent fracture of those regions. Formation of two robust power laws f...
