Oscillating Fracture in Rubber
arXiv:nlin/0107030 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.014304
Abstract
We have found an oscillating instability of fast-running cracks in thin rubber sheets. A well-defined transition from straight to oscillating cracks occurs as the amount of biaxial strain increases. Measurements of the amplitude and wavelength of the oscillation near the onset of this instability indicate that the instability is a Hopf bifurcation.
