How glass breaks -- Damage explains the difference between surface and fracture energies in amorphous silica
Gergely Molnár, Etienne Barthel
The difference between free surface energy and fracture toughness in amorphous silica is studied via multi-scale simulations. We combine the homogenization of a molecular dynamics…
