Fiber networks below the isostatic point: fracture without stress concentration

Leyou Zhang, D. Zeb Rocklin, Leonard M. Sander +1

Crack nucleation is a ubiquitous phenomena during materials failure, because stress focuses on crack tips. It is known that exceptions to this general rule arise in the limit of st…
