Power law creep and delayed failure of gels and fibrous materials under stress
Henry A. Lockwood, Molly H. Agar, Suzanne M. Fielding
Motivated by recent experiments studying the creep and breakup of a protein gel under stress, we introduce a simple mesoscopic model for the irreversible failure of gels and fibrou…
Reduced stress propagation leads to increased mechanical failure resistance in auxetic materials
Suzanne M. Fielding
Materials with negative Poisson ratio have the counter-intuitive property of expanding laterally when they are stretched longitudinally. They are accordingly termed auxetic, from t…
Ultra-delayed material failure via shear banding after straining an amorphous material
Henry A. Lockwood, Emily S. Carrington, Suzanne M. Fielding
We predict a phenomenon of catastrophic material failure arising suddenly within an amorphous material, with an extremely long delay time since the material was last deformed. By s…
