Effects of atoms on brittle fracture
This article aims to answer two related sets of questions. First: in principle, how large an effect can structure at the atomic scale have upon the fracture of two macroscopically identical samples? The answer to this question is that the effects can be very large. Perfectly sharp cracks can be pinned and stationary under loading conditions that put them far beyond the Griffith point. Crack pat...
متن کاملOn an Eigendeformation Approach to Brittle Fracture
The paper presents a numerical implementation of a novel approximation scheme for Griffith’s theory of brittle fracture recently proposed in [1]. The total potential energy of a brittle body (including bulk and surface terms) is variationally approximated by a family of functionals, depending on a small penalty parameter ε. The (two-field) approximating functionals have as arguments the displac...
متن کاملCrack initiation in brittle materials
In this paper we study the crack initiation in a hyper-elastic body governed by a Griffith’s type energy. We prove that, during a load process through a time dependent boundary datum of the type t → tg(x) and in absence of strong singularities (this is the case of homogeneous isotropic materials) the crack initiation is brutal, i.e., a big crack appears after a positive time ti > 0. On the cont...
متن کاملFractal Dimension of Brittle Fracture
Using a worldwide catalog of earthquakes we analyze the distribution of distances between pairs of earthquake hypocenters to determine the spatial fractal dimension 6 of an earthquake fracture. As the time span of the catalog increases, 8 asymptotically reaches the value 2.1-2.2 for shallow earthquakes. Approximately the same asymptotic value of dimension is obtained for a catalog of earthquake...
متن کاملCrack Growth during Brittle Fracture
Title: Crack Growth During Brittle Fracture in Compression. Author: Bartlett W. Paulding, Jr. Submitted to the Department of Geology and Geophysics February 9, 1965 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Photoelastic analysis of several two-crack arrays predicts that compressive fracture is initiated at cra...
