The propagation of gradient flow structures from microscopic to macroscopic models is a topic of high current interest. In this paper we discuss this propagation in a model for the diffusion of particles interacting via hard-core exclusion…
We propose inverse problems of crack propagation using the phase-field models. First, we study the crack propagation in an inhomogeneous media in which fracture toughness varies in space. Using the two phase-field models based on different…
It is shown that the dispersion and attenuation functions in a linear viscoelastic medium with a positive relaxation spectrum can be expressed in terms of a positive measure. Both functions have a sublinear growth rate at very high…
Various kinds of heterogeneity in solids including atomistic discreteness affect the fracture strength as well as the failure dynamics remarkably. Here we study the effects of an initial crack in a discrete model for fracture in…
We propose a thermodynamically consistent general-purpose model describing diffusion of a solute or a fluid in a solid undergoing possible phase transformations and damage, beside possible visco-inelastic processes. Also heat…
We present a comparative study on two theoretical descriptions of microrheological experiments. Using a generalized Langevin equation (GLE), we analyze the origin of the power-law behavior of the main properties of a viscoelastic medium.…
We study the dependence of the fracture surface energy on the pulling velocity for nano-porous polypropylene (PP) sheets to find two components: the static and dynamic ones. We show that these terms can be interpreted respectively as…
A liquid droplet resting on a soft gel substrate can deform that substrate to the point of material failure, whereby fractures develop on the gel surface that propagate outwards from the contact-line in a starburst pattern. In this paper,…
We present a stochastic modeling framework for atomistic propagation of a Mode I surface crack, with atoms interacting according to the Lennard-Jones interatomic potential at zero temperature. Specifically, we invoke the Cauchy-Born rule…
The fragmentation of a two-dimensional circular disc by lateral impact is investigated using a cell model of brittle solid. The disc is composed of numerous unbreakable randomly shaped convex polygons connected together by simple elastic…
A variational modeling framework for hydraulically induced fracturing of elastic-plastic solids is developed in the present work. The developed variational structure provides a global minimization problem. While fracture propagation is…
We consider crack propagation in a crystalline material in terms of bifurcation analysis. We provide evidence that the stress intensity factor is a natural bifurcation parameter, and that the resulting bifurcation diagram is a periodic…
Fatigue crack advance induced by the application of cyclic quasistatic loads is investigated both numerically and analytically using a lattice spring model. The system has a quasi-one-dimensional geometry, and consists in two symmetrical…
The velocity jump found in the crack propagation for rubbers has been a powerful tool for developing tough rubber materials. Although it is suggested by a theory that the jump could be observed widely for viscoelastic materials, the report…
We experimentally probe nonlinear wave propagation in weakly compressed granular media, and observe a crossover from quasi-linear sound waves at low impact, to shock waves at high impact. We show that this crossover grows with the confining…
In terms of nonlinear material fracture mechanics, the real (discrete)-structure material fracture model has been developed. The model rests on the demonstration of the fact that crack resistance $K_{1c}=2\sigma \sqrt l$ and fracture…
This paper considers a steady-state crack propagating along an interface between dissimilar orthotropic materials under an asymmetric load. Although most of the known results so far deal with symmetric loading, it has been shown recently…
Analytical models have been developed for fracture propagation over the last several decades and are now considered with renewed interest; the range of their applicability varies for different materials and different loading conditions.…
We present a novel theory of the adhesive contact of linear viscoelastic materials against rigid substrates moving at constant velocity. Despite the non-conservative behavior of the system, the closure equation of the contact problem can be…
In this paper we prove the existence of quasistatic evolutions for a cohesive fracture on a prescribed crack surface, in small-strain antiplane elasticity. The main feature of the model is that the density of the energy dissipated in the…
