Weakly Nonlinear Theory of Dynamic Fracture
Eran Bouchbinder, Ariel Livne, Jay Fineberg
The common approach to crack dynamics, linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), assumes infinitesimal strains and predicts a strain divergence at a crack tip. We extend…
The Breakdown of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics near the Tip of a Rapid Crack
Ariel Livne, Eran Bouchbinder, Jay Fineberg
We present high resolution measurements of the displacement and strain fields near the tip of a dynamic (Mode I) crack. The experiments are performed on polyacrylamide gels, brittl…
Crack-Like Processes Governing the Onset of Frictional Slip
Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Meni Shay, Gil Cohen +1
We perform real-time measurements of the net contact area between two blocks of like material at the onset of frictional slip. We show that the process of interface detachment, whi…
