The single edge notch fracture test for viscoelastic elastomers
Farhad Kamarei, Fabio Sozio, Oscar Lopez-Pamies
Making use of the Griffith criticality condition recently introduced by Shrimali and Lopez-Pamies (Extreme Mechanics Letters 58: 101944, 2023), this work presents a comprehensive a…
A Guide to Fully Characterize the Fracture Properties of Cementitious Materials from Simple Experiments
Subhrangsu Saha, Bruce J. Moore, Ben Manaugh +2
Guided by recent advances in the understanding of nucleation and propagation of fracture in elastic brittle materials, this paper proposes a suite of three simple experiments that…
Breaking Four-Point and Three-Point Bending Tests
Subhrangsu Saha, Jeffery R. Roesler, Oscar Lopez-Pamies
Since their initial standardizations in the 1930s and 1950s, the so-called four-point and three-point bending tests on unnotched beams have been embraced by practitioners as two po…
Nine circles of elastic brittle fracture: A series of challenge problems to assess fracture models
Farhad Kamarei, Bo Zheng, John E. Dolbow +1
Since the turn of the millennium, capitalizing on modern advances in mathematics and computation, a slew of computational models have been proposed in the literature with the objec…
Nucleation and propagation of fracture in viscoelastic elastomers: A complete phase-field theory
Farhad Kamarei, Evan Breedlove, Oscar Lopez-Pamies
This paper presents a macroscopic theory, alongside its numerical implementation, aimed at describing, explaining, and predicting the nucleation and propagation of fracture in visc…
Validating Griffith fracture propagation in the phase-field approach to fracture: The case of Mode III by means of the trousers test
F. Kamarei, E. Breedlove, O. Lopez-Pamies
At present, there is an abundance of results showing that the phase-field approach to fracture in elastic brittle materials -- when properly accounting for material strength -- des…
