A discrete crack-tip theory for nonlinear lattice networks
Jiabin Liu, Shaoting Lin, Juntao Huang
Crack-tip fields govern deformation localization and failure initiation. Classical continuum fracture mechanics describes these fields through theories such as the Hutchinson-Rice-…

An Extreme Toughening Mechanism for Soft Materials
Shaoting Lin, Camilo Duque Londono, Dongchang Zheng +1
Soft yet tough materials are ubiquitous in nature and everyday life. The ratio between fracture toughness and intrinsic fracture energy of a soft material defines its toughness enh…
