This work outlines a diffuse interface method for the study of fracture and fragmentation in ductile metals at high strain-rates in Eulerian finite volume simulations. The work is based on an existing diffuse interface method capable of…
This article presents the construction of a non-affine hypersurface on an $n$-simplex in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Additionally, fractal dimension of the graph of a non-affine multivariate real-valued fractal function is estimated under certain…
We study hypersurfaces with fractional mean curvature in N-dimensional Euclidean space. These hypersurfaces are critical points of the fractional perimeter under a volume constraint. We use local inversion arguments to prove existence of…
The two-dimensional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis is applied to reveal the multifractal properties of the fracture surfaces of foamed polypropylene/polyethylene blends at different temperatures. Nice power-law scaling…
Eigenstate multifractality is a distinctive feature of non-interacting disordered metals close to a metal-insulator transition, whose properties are expected to extend to superconductivity. While multifractality in three dimensions (3D)…
Optimal paths play a fundamental role in numerous physical applications ranging from random polymers to brittle fracture, from the flow through porous media to information propagation. Here for the first time we explore the path that is…
The last decade has seen a strong increase of research into flows in fractured porous media, mainly related to subsurface processes, but also in materials science and biological applications. Connected fractures totally dominate…
Using a multi-resolution technique, we analyze large in-plane fracture fronts moving slowly between two sintered Plexiglas plates. We find that the roughness of the front exhibits two distinct regimes separated by a crossover length scale…
An accurate modeling of reactive flows in fractured porous media is a key ingredient to obtain reliable numerical simulations of several industrial and environmental applications. For some values of the physical parameters we can observe…
We present a comprehensive structural characterization of two different highly pure nuclear graphites that compasses all relevant length scales from nanometers to sub-mm. This has been achieved by combining several experiments and neutron…
Stochastic models for the development of cracks in 1 and 2 dimensional objects are presented. In one dimension, we focus on particular scenarios for interacting and non-interacting fragments during the breakup process. For two dimensional…
In this work, we consider a mathematical model for flow in a unsaturated porous medium containing a fracture. In all subdomains (the fracture and the adjacent matrix blocks) the flow is governed by Richards' equation. The submodels are…
We study single-phase flow in a fractured porous medium at a macroscopic scale that allows to model fractures individually. The flow is governed by Darcy's law in both fractures and porous matrix. We derive a new mixed-dimensional model,…
The friction force observed at macroscale is the result of interactions at various lower length scales that are difficult to model in a combined manner. For this reason, simplified approaches are required, depending on the specific aspect…
The pattern development of multiple cracks in extremely anisotropic solids such as bilayer or multilayer two-dimensional (2D) crystals contains rich physics, which, however, remains largely unexplored. We studied crack interaction across…
We show that a length scale xi can be extracted from the spatial correlations of the "steep cliffs" that appear on fracture surface. Above xi, the slope amplitudes are uncorrelated and the fracture surface is mono-affine. Below xi,…
We introduce a model for the dynamics of mud cracking in the limit of of extremely thin layers. In this model the growth of fracture proceeds by selecting the part of the material with the smallest (quenched) breaking threshold. In…
Two-dimensional materials were first isolated no longer than ten years ago, and a comprehensive understanding of their properties under non-planar shapes is still being developed. Strictly speaking, the theoretical study of the properties…
The precise mechanisms underlying the failure of multi-phase materials may be strongly dependent on the material's microstructural morphology. Micromechanical modeling has provided much insight into this dependence, but uncertainties remain…
We analyze the surface morphology of metals after plastic deformation over a range of scales from 10 nm to 2 mm, using a combination of atomic force microscopy and scanning white-light interferometry. We demonstrate that an initially smooth…
