Abstract
We present a model for stable crack growth in a constrained geometry. The morphology of such cracks show scaling properties consistent with self affinity. Recent experiments show that there are two distinct self-affine regimes, one on small scales whereas the other at large scales. It is believed that two different physical mechanisms are responsible for this. The model we introduce aims to investigate the two mechanisms in a single system. We do find two distinct scaling regimes in the model.
