Crack-Tip Opening as a Probe for Length-Scale Separation in Geometrically Nonlinear Solids
Raúl Lazo-Molina, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia, Mohit Pundir +2
Soft elastic solids are highly deformable materials where fracture is driven by the complex coupling of geometric and material nonlinearities. While geometric nonlinearity (GNL) ar…
Self-focusing of helicity drives finite-time singularities in inviscid flows
Mokhtar Adda-Bedia, Sergio Rica
This paper deals with the longstanding quest of the possible existence of finite-time singularities in the equations governing the dynamics of inviscid fluids, namely, Euler equati…
Laddering of a knitted fabric: a topology-induced failure
Antoine Faulconnier, Laura Michel, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia +2
Laddering is the propagation of a topological defect in an everyday-life material: weft knitted fabrics, following a broken thread or a dropped stitch. What is a minor frustration…
Curved crack paths are predicted by elastic-charges
Oran Szachter, Emmanuel Siefert, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia +2
Predicting crack trajectories in brittle solids remains an open challenge in fracture mechanics due to the non-local nature of crack propagation and the way cracks modify their sur…
Dual Role for Heterogeneity in Dynamic Fracture
Itamar Kolvin, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia
We approach the problem of heterogeneous dynamic fracture by considering spatiotemporal perturbations to planar crack fronts. Front propagation is governed by local energy balance…
A comprehensive study of nonlinear perturbations in the dynamics of planar crack fronts
Itamar Kolvin, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia
The interaction of crack fronts with asperities is central to the criteria of fracture in heterogeneous materials and for predicting fracture surface formation. It is known how dyn…
