Arrested 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 کاملDynamic Initiation and Propagation of Multiple Cracks in Brittle Materials
Brittle materials such as rock and ceramic usually exhibit apparent increases of strength and toughness when subjected to dynamic loading. The reasons for this phenomenon are not yet well understood, although a number of hypotheses have been proposed. Based on dynamic fracture mechanics, the present work offers an alternate insight into the dynamic behaviors of brittle materials. Firstly, a sin...
متن کاملPeridynamic models for dynamic brittle fracture
Adviser: Florin Bobaru Damage and failure in composite materials under dynamic loading has been extensively studied in experiments for several decades. Composite materials exhibit various damage and failure patterns under different loading rates, such as splitting and branching. Classical models cannot directly be applied to problems with discontinuous fields. A new nonlocal continuum model, pe...
متن کاملNucleation of cracks in a brittle sheet.
We use molecular dynamics to study the nucleation of cracks in a two-dimensional material without pre-existing cracks. We study models with zero and nonzero shear moduli. In both situations, the time required for crack formation obeys an Arrhenius law, from which the energy barrier and prefactor are extracted for different system sizes. For large systems, the characteristic time of rupture is f...
متن کاملUniversal Aspects of Dynamic Fracture in Brittle Materials
We present an experimental study of the dynamics of rapid tensile fracture in brittle amorphous materials. We first compare the dynamic behavior of “standard” brittle materials (e.g. glass) with the corresponding features observed in “model” materials, polyacrylamide gels, in which the relevant sound speeds can be reduced by 2-3 orders of magnitude. The results of this comparison indicate unive...
