Accurate prediction of fracture toughness under complex loading conditions, like mixed mode I/II, is essential for reliable failure assessment. This paper aims to develop a machine learning framework for predicting fracture toughness and…
In this paper, we introduce a model for fracture in fibrous materials that takes into account the rupture height of the fibers, in contrast with previous models. Thus, we obtain the profile of the fracture and calculate its roughness,…
Effective action of center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is investigated by studying the correlation between the action density on their worldsheets and their geometric properties. It turns out that center vortices are rigid,…
In a system with long-ranged correlations, the behavior of correlation functions is sensitive to the presence of a boundary. We show that surface deformations strongly modify this behavior as compared to a flat surface. The modified near…
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…
The depinning of a contact line is studied as a dynamical critical phenomenon by a functional renormalization group technique. In $D=2-\epsilon$ interface dimensions, the roughness exponent is $\zeta=\epsilon/3$ to all orders in…
The fatigue fracture surfaces of a metallic alloy, and the stress corrosion fracture surfaces of glass are investigated as a function of crack velocity. It is shown that in both cases, there are two fracture regimes, which have a well…
Using 20 months of CPU time on our special purpose computer ``Percola'' we determined the exponent for the normal conductivity at the threshold of three-dimensional site and bond percolation. The extrapolation analysis taking into account…
We analyze the scaling of the crack roughness and of avalanche precursors in the two dimensional random fuse model by numerical simulations, employing large system sizes and extensive sample averaging. We find that the crack roughness…
The fundamental interactions between an edge dislocation and a random solid solution are studied by analyzing dislocation line roughness profiles obtained from molecular dynamics simulations of Fe0.70Ni0.11 Cr0.19 over a range of stresses…
Through controlled numerical simulations in a one dimensional fiber bundle model with local stress concentration, we established an inverse correlation between the strength of the material and the cracks which grow inside it - both the…
We study long-range power-law correlated disorder on square and cubic lattices. In particular, we present high-precision results for the percolation thresholds and the fractal dimension of the largest clusters as function of the correlation…
We employ a functional renormalization group to study interfaces in the presence of a pinning potential in $d=4-\epsilon$ dimensions. In contrast to a previous approach [D.S. Fisher, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 56}, 1964 (1986)] we use a…
We present a physical model for turbulent friction on rough surfaces with regularly distributed roughness elements. Wall shear stresses are expressed as functions of physical quantities. Surfaces with varying roughness densities and…
We revisit the question of how to calculate correlations of the curvature perturbation, $\zeta$, using the $\delta N$ formalism when one cannot employ a truncated Taylor expansion of $N$. This problem arises when one uses lattice…
The roughness of crack interfaces is reported in quasistatic fracture, using an elastic network of beams with random breaking thresholds. For strong disorders we obtain 0.86(3) for the roughness exponent, a result which is very different…
We present experiments on the slow growth of a single crack in a fax paper sheet submitted to a constant force $F$. We find that statistically averaged crack growth curves can be described by only two parameters : the mean rupture time…
We consider the two-dimensional (2d) random Ising model on a diagonal strip of the square lattice, where the bonds take two values, $J_1>J_2$, with equal probability. Using an iterative method, based on a successive application of the…
In this paper, we'll answer several abstract, formal questions about the nature of crack growth and nucleation. Bringing a field theory point of view to fracture illuminates things in what I hope will be an entertaining way. Formally, what…
Based on an extension of the fiber bundle model we investigate numerically the motion of the crack front through a weak plane separating a soft and an infinitely stiff block. We find that there are two regimes. At large scales the motion is…
