Slow crack growth in polycarbonate films
Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Stéphane Santucci, Loic Vanel +1
We study experimentally the slow growth of a single crack in polycarbonate films submitted to uniaxial and constant imposed stress. The specificity of fracture in polycarbonate fil…
Imaging the stick-slip peeling of an adhesive tape under a constant load
Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Matteo Ciccotti, Loic Vanel
Using a high speed camera, we study the peeling dynamics of an adhesive tape under a constant load with a special focus on the so-called stick-slip regime of the peeling. It is the…
Subcritical crack growth in fibrous materials
Stéphane Santucci, Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Stéphanie Deschanel +2
We present experiments on the slow growth of a single crack in a fax paper sheet submitted to a constant force . We find that statistically averaged crack growth curves can be d…
A dynamical law for slow crack growth in polycarbonate films
Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Loic Vanel, Sergio Ciliberto
We study experimentally the slow growth of a single crack in polycarbonate films submitted to uniaxial and constant imposed stress. For this visco-plastic material, we uncover a dy…
