Microbranching instability and the dynamic fracture of brittle materials.
We describe experiments on the dynamic fracture of the brittle plastic, PMMA. The results suggest a view of the fracture process that is based on the existence and subsequent evolution of an instability, which causes a single crack to become unstable to frustrated microscopic branching events. We demonstrate that a number of long-standing questions in the dynamic fracture of amorphous, brittle ...
متن کاملExtrinsic cohesive modelling of dynamic fracture and microbranching instability in brittle materials
Dynamic crack microbranching processes in brittle materials are investigated by means of a computational fracture mechanics approach using the finite element method with special interface elements and a topological data structure representation. Experiments indicate presence of a limiting crack speed for dynamic crack in brittle materials as well as increasing fracture resistance with crack spe...
متن کاملA phase-field description of dynamic brittle fracture
In contrast to discrete descriptions of fracture, phase-field descriptions do not require numerical tracking of discontinuities in the displacement field. This greatly reduces implementation complexity. In this work, we extend a phase-field model for quasi-static brittle fracture to the dynamic case. We introduce a phasefield approximation to the Lagrangian for discrete fracture problems and de...
متن کاملA Geometrically Nonlinear Phase Field Theory of Brittle Fracture
Phase field theory is developed for solids undergoing potentially large deformation and fracture. The elastic potential depends on a finite measure of elastic strain. Surface energy associated with fracture can be anisotropic, enabling description of preferred cleavage planes in single crystals, or isotropic, applicable to amorphous solids such as glass. Incremental solution of the Euler–Lagran...
متن کاملInstability in dynamic fracture.
The fracture of brittle amorphous materials is an especially challenging problem, because the way a large object shatters is intimately tied to details of cohesion at microscopic scales. This subject has been plagued by conceptual puzzles, and to make matters worse, experiments seemed to contradict the most "rmly established theories. In this review, we will show that the theory and experiments...
