چکیده

Experiments in the dynamic fracture of brittle polyacrylamide gels show that a single-crack state undergoes a hysteretic transition to the microbranching instability with a characteristic activation time. Quantitative measurements also indicate that features such as crack front inertia, self-focusing of microbranches, and the appearance of front waves are universal attributes of dynamic fracture.

Vibration Attenuation of Nonlinear Hysteretic Structures with Fully Unknown Parameters

Natural hazards such as earthquakes have threatened the life of human beings during the history.As a consequence, the vibration mitigation of structures has caught great importance. Activecontrol of structures is one of the rapidly emerging areas in the concept of structural control. Thispaper presents a control method to deal with this subject when the dynamics of the structure ishysteretic an...

Elastic Properties and Fracture Analysis of Perfect and Boron-doped C2N-h2D Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation

   This paper explores the mechanical properties and fracture analysis of C2N-h2D single-layer sheets using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Simulations are carried out based on the Tersoff potential energy function within Nose-Hoover thermostat algorithm at the constant room temperature in a canonical ensemble. The influences of boron (B) doping on the mechanical properties, ...

Unsaturated flow through fracture networks: Evolution of liquid phase structure, dynamics, and the critical importance of fracture intersections

[1] Experiments and analyses are presented to elucidate the critical control of fracture intersections on the evolution and dynamics of the liquid phase structure within unsaturated fracture networks in impermeable media. Phase structure was visualized within a thick vertical sheet of broken glass where the breaks constituted the fracture network. The critical system parameters, applied flow ra...

Universal 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...

Numerical Determination of Delamination Onset in Laminated Symmetric DCB Specimen

In this study, a novel numerical method is proposed for determination of mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness, GIc, in multi-directional (MD) double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens using fracture properties of unidirectional DCB specimens. Two factors, β and Dc are defined to minimize the undesirable effects on strain energy release rate. β describes the difference between maximum and average...
