How heat controls fracture: the thermodynamics of creeping and avalanching cracks
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Stéphane Santucci +6
While of paramount importance in material science, the dynamics of cracks still lacks a complete physical explanation. The transition from their slow creep behavior to a fast propa…

Thermal weakening of cracks and brittle-ductile transition: a phase model
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Alain Cochard +2
We present a model for the thermally activated propagation of cracks in elastic matrices. The propagation is considered as a subcritical phenomenon, the kinetics of which being des…
