Quasi-Static Crack Propagation by Griffith’s Criterion
We consider the propagation of a crack in a brittle material along a prescribed crack path and define a quasi-static evolution by means of stationary points of the free energy. We show that this evolution satisfies Griffith’s criterion in a suitable form which takes into account both stable and unstable propagation, as well as an energy balance formula which accounts for dissipation in the unst...
متن کاملThermal fracture as a framework for quasi-static crack propagation
We address analytically and numerically theproblemofcrackpathprediction in themodelsystem of a crack propagating under thermal loading.We show that one can explain the instability from a straight to a wavy crack propagation by using only the principle of local symmetry and theGriffith criterion.We then argue that the calculations of the stress intensity factors can be combinedwith thestandardcr...
متن کاملFrom rate-dependent to quasi-static brittle crack propagation
On the base of many experimental results, e.g. [18], [19], [21], [12], the object of our analysis is a rate-dependent model for the propagation of a crack in brittle materials. Our goal is a mathematical study of the evolution equation in the geometries of the ’Single Edge Notch Tension’ (SENT) and of the ’Compact Tension’ (ASTM-CT). Besides existence and uniqueness, emphasis is placed on the r...
متن کاملFaults Self-organized by Repeated Earthquakes in a Quasi-static Antiplane Crack Model
We study a 2D quasi-static discrete crack anti-plane model of a tectonic plate with long range elastic forces and quenched disorder. The plate is driven at its border and the load is transfered to all elements through elastic forces. This model can be considered as belonging to the class of self-organized models which may exhibit spontaneous criticality, with four additional ingredients compare...
متن کاملFast crack propagation by surface diffusion.
We present a continuum theory which describes the fast growth of a crack by surface diffusion. This mechanism overcomes the usual cusp singularity by a self-consistent selection of the crack tip radius. It predicts the saturation of the steady state crack velocity appreciably below the Rayleigh speed and tip blunting. Furthermore, it includes the possibility of a tip splitting instability for h...
