Crack Front Segmentation and Facet Coarsening in Mixed-Mode Fracture
Chih-Hung Chen, Tristan Cambonie, Veronique Lazarus +3
A planar crack generically segments into an array of "daughter cracks" shaped as tilted facets when loaded with both a tensile stress normal to the crack plane (mode I) and a shear…
Strong anisotropy in two-dimensional surfaces with generic scale invariance: Non-linear effects
Edoardo Vivo, Matteo Nicoli, Rodolfo Cuerno
We expand a previous study [Phys. Rev. E 86, 051611 (2012)] on the conditions for occurrence of strong anisotropy (SA) in the scaling properties of two-dimensional surfaces display…
Quantitative analysis of the debonding structure of soft adhesives
François Tanguy, Matteo Nicoli, Anke Lindner +1
We experimentally investigate the growth dynamics of cavities nucleating during the first stages of debonding of three different model adhesives. The material properties of these a…
Coarsening dynamics in one dimension: The phase diffusion equation and its numerical implementation
Matteo Nicoli, Chaouqi Misbah, Paolo Politi
Many nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) display a coarsening dynamics, i.e., an emerging pattern whose typical length scale increases with time. The so-called coar…
Universality of cauliflower-like fronts: from nanoscale thin films to macroscopic plants
Mario Castro, Rodolfo Cuerno, Matteo Nicoli +2
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a widely used technique to grow solid materials with accurate control of layer thickness and composition. Under mass-transport-limited conditions…
Strong anisotropy in surface kinetic roughening: analysis and experiments
Edoardo Vivo, Matteo Nicoli, Martin Engler +3
We report an experimental assessment of surface kinetic roughening properties that are anisotropic in space. Working for two specific instances of silicon surfaces irradiated by io…
