Size selection of crack front defects: Multiple fracture-plane interactions and intrinsic lengthscales
Meng Wang, Eran Bouchbinder, Jay Fineberg
Material failure is mediated by the propagation of cracks, which in realistic 3D materials typically involve multiple coexisting fracture planes. Multiple fracture-plane interactio…
How hidden 3D structure within crack fronts reveals energy balance
Meng Wang, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia, John M. Kolinski +1
Griffith's energetic criterion, or `energy balance', has for a century formed the basis for fracture mechanics; the energy flowing into a crack front is precisely balanced by the d…
Ramblings (Memoirs) of a Scientist
Jay Fineberg
This paper is a faithful description of the author's career as a scientist, which often intersected that of Yves Couder. The emphasis of this paper is a true description of how the…
Unstable cracks trigger asymptotic rupture modes in bimaterial friction
H. Shlomai, D. S. Kammer, M. Adda-Bedia +2
The rupture of the interface joining two materials under frictional contact controls their macroscopic sliding. Interface rupture dynamics depend markedly on the mechanical propert…
Dynamic fields at the tip of sub-Rayleigh and supershear frictional rupture fronts
Ilya Svetlizky, Gabriele Albertini, Gil Cohen +2
The onset of frictional motion at the interface between two distinct bodies in contact is characterized by the propagation of dynamic rupture fronts. We combine friction experiment…
How super-tough gels break
Itamar Kolvin, John M. Kolinski, Jian Ping Gong +1
Fracture of highly stretched materials challenges our view of how things break. We directly visualize rupture of tough double-network (DN) gels at >50\% strain. During fracture, cr…
