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…
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…
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…
Transonic and supershear crack propagation driven by geometric nonlinearities
Mohit Pundir, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia, David S. Kammer
Linear elastic fracture mechanics theory predicts that the speed of crack growth is limited by the Rayleigh wave speed. Although many experimental observations and numerical simula…
Delamination from an adhesive sphere: Curvature-induced dewetting versus buckling
Finn Box, Lucie Domino, Tiago Outerelo Corvo +4
Everyday experience confirms the tendency of adhesive films to detach from spheroidal regions of rigid substrates -- what is a petty frustration when placing a sticky bandage onto…
