Unsteady Crack Motion and Branching in a Phase-Field Model of Brittle Fracture
arXiv:cond-mat/0401056 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.245510
Abstract
Crack propagation is studied numerically using a continuum phase-field approach to mode III brittle fracture. The results shed light on the physics that controls the speed of accelerating cracks and the characteristic branching instability at a fraction of the wave speed.
