Roughness of Interfacial Crack Front: Correlated Percolation in the Damage Zone

Jean Schmittbuhl, Alex Hansen, G. George Batrouni

We show that the roughness exponent zeta of an in-plane crack front slowly propagating along a heterogeneous interface embeded in a elastic body, is in full agreement with a correl…

Origin of the Universal Roughness Exponent of Brittle Fracture Surfaces: Correlated Percolation in the Damage Zone

Alex Hansen, Jean Schmittbuhl

We suggest that the observed large-scale universal roughness of brittle fracture surfaces is due to the fracture process being a correlated percolation process in a self-generated…
