New universality class for the fragmentation of plastic materials
G. Timar, J. Blomer, F. Kun +1
We present an experimental and theoretical study of the fragmentation of polymeric materials by impacting polypropylene particles of spherical shape against a hard wall. Experiment…
Scaling behavior of fragment shapes
F. Kun, F. K. Wittel, H. J. Herrmann +2
We present an experimental and theoretical study of the shape of fragments generated by explosive and impact loading of closed shells. Based on high speed imaging, we have determin…
A simple beam model for the shear failure of interfaces
F. Raischel, F. Kun, H. J. Herrmann
We propose a novel model for the shear failure of a glued interface between two solid blocks. We model the interface as an array of elastic beams which experience stretching and be…
Break-up of shells under explosion and impact
F. K. Wittel, F. Kun, H. J. Herrmann +1
A theoretical and experimental study of the fragmentation of closed thin shells made of a disordered brittle material is presented. Experiments were performed on brown and white he…
Internal Anisotropy of Collision Cascades
F. Kun, G. Bardos
We investigate the internal anisotropy of collision cascades arising from the branching structure. We show that the global fractal dimension cannot give an adequate description of…
