Fracture Diodes: Directional asymmetry of fracture toughness
N. R. Brodnik, S. Brach, C. M. Long +4
Toughness describes the ability of a material to resist fracture or crack propagation. It is demonstrated here that fracture toughness of a material can be asymmetric, i.e., the re…
Optimal Design of Responsive Structures
Andrew Akerson, Blaise Bourdin, Kaushik Bhattacharya
With recent advances in both responsive materials and fabrication techniques it is now possible to construct integrated functional structures, composed of both structural and activ…
Phase-field study of crack nucleation and propagation in elastic - perfectly plastic bodies
Stella Brach, Erwan Tanné, Blaise Bourdin +1
Crack initiation and propagation in elastic - perfectly plastic bodies is studied in a phase-field or variational gradient damage formulation. A rate-independent formulation that n…
