Anomalous scaling law of strength and toughness of cellulose nanopaper.
The quest for both strength and toughness is perpetual in advanced material design; unfortunately, these two mechanical properties are generally mutually exclusive. So far there exists only limited success of attaining both strength and toughness, which often needs material-specific, complicated, or expensive synthesis processes and thus can hardly be applicable to other materials. A general me...
متن کاملScaling of Fracture Strength in Disordered Quasi-Brittle Materials
This paper presents two main results. The first result indicates that in materials with broadly distributed microscopic heterogeneities, the fracture strength distribution corresponding to the peak load of the material response does not follow the commonly used Weibull and (modified) Gumbel distributions. Instead, a lognormal distribution describes more adequately the fracture strengths corresp...
متن کامل4 Effective toughness of heterogeneous brittle materials
A heterogeneous brittle material characterized by a random field of local toughness K c (x) can be represented by an equivalent homogeneous medium of toughness, K eff. Homogenization refers to a process of estimating K eff from the local field K c (x). An approach based on a perturbative expansion of the stress intensity factor along a rough crack front shows the occurrence of different regimes...
متن کاملDynamic fragmentation of a brittle plate under biaxial loading: strength or toughness controlled?
The fragmentation of a brittle plate subjected to dynamic biaxial loading is investigated via numerical simulations. The aim is to extend our understanding of the dynamic processes affecting fragment size distributions. A scalable computational framework based on a hybrid cohesive zone model description of fracture and a discontinuous Galerkin formulation is employed. This enables large-scale s...
متن کاملScaling of Static Fracture of Quasi-Brittle Structures: Strength, Lifetime, and Fracture Kinetics
The paper reviews a recently developed finite chain model for the weakest-link statistics of strength, lifetime, and size effect of quasi-brittle structures, which are the structures in which the fracture process zone size is not negligible compared to the cross section size. The theory is based on the recognition that the failure probability is simple and clear only on the nanoscale since the ...
