Three dimensional calculations of ductile crack growth under mode I plane strain, small scale yielding conditions are carried out using an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive relation for a progres- sively cavitating plastic solid with two…
Accurate predictions of the failure progression of structural materials is critical for preventing failure-induced accidents. Despite considerable mechanics modeling-based efforts, accurate prediction remains a challenging task in…
We study a lattice model for mode III crack propagation in brittle materials in a stripe geometry at constant applied stretching. Stiffening of the material at large deformation produces supersonic crack propagation. For large stretching…
In order to design tougher materials, it is crucial to understand the relationship between their composition and their resistance to fracture. To this end, we investigate the fracture toughness of usual sodium silicate glasses (NS) and…
The fracture of materials is a catastrophic phenomenon of considerable technological and scientific importance. Here, we analysed experiments designed for industrial applications in order to test the concept that, in heterogeneous materials…
On the basis of energy conservation law an without utilizing Linear Fracture Mechanics (LFM) postulates the equation of a real-structure material elastic-plastic fracture has been derived. With the help of this equation the force and energy…
We use computer simulations to study the behavior of atomically sharp and blunted cracks in various f.c.c. metals. The simulations use effective medium potentials which contain many-body interactions. We find that when using potentials…
A minimal model is constructed for two-dimensional fracture propagation. The heterogeneous process zone is presumed to suppress stress relaxation rate, leading to non-quasistatic behavior. Using the Yoffe solution, I construct and solve a…
Slow crack propagation in ductile, and in certain brittle materials, appears to take place via the nucleation of voids ahead of the crack tip due to plastic yields, followed by the coalescence of these voids. Post mortem analysis of the…
This study addresses ductile fracture of single grains in metals by modeling of the formation and propagation of transgranular cracks. A proposed model integrates gradient extended hardening, phase-field modeling for fracture, and crystal…
Brittle fracturing of materials is common in natural and industrial processes over a variety of length scales. Knowledge of individual particle dynamics is vital to obtain deeper insight into the atomistic processes governing crack…
In a recent contribution, Kumar, Bourdin, Francfort, and Lopez-Pamies (J. Mech. Phys. Solids 142:104027, 2020) have introduced a comprehensive macroscopic phase-field theory for the nucleation and propagation of fracture in linear elastic…
We study the stability and roughness of propagating cracks in heterogeneous brittle two-dimensional elastic materials. We begin by deriving an equation of motion describing the dynamics of such a crack in the framework of Linear Elastic…
Some implants have approximately a lifetime of 15 years. The femoral stem, for example, should be made of 316L/316LN stainless steel. Fretting corrosion, friction under small displacements, should occur during human gait, due to repeated…
Fatigue crack growth is usually a three-dimensional problem, but it is often simplified to two dimensions to reduce complexity. However, this study investigates the relationships between microscopic effects such as crack kinking, shear…
We studied the low speed fracture regime (0.1mm/s - 1nm/s) in different glassy materials (soda-lime glass, glass-ceramics) with variable but controlled length scale of heterogeneity. The chosen mechanical system enabled us to work in pure…
We study the fracture surface of three dimensional samples through a model for quasi-static fractures known as Born Model. We find for the roughness exponent a value of 0.5 expected for ``small length scales'' in microfracturing…
The phase field fracture method has emerged as a promising computational tool for modelling a variety of problems including, since recently, hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking. In this work, we demonstrate the potential of…
Large networked systems are constantly exposed to local damages and failures that can alter their functionality. The knowledge of the structure of these systems is however often derived through sampling strategies whose effectiveness at…
Variational phase-field models of fracture are widely used to simulate nucleation and propagation of cracks in brittle materials. They are based on the approximation of the solutions of free-discontinuity fracture energy by two smooth…
