Nucleation of interfacial shear cracks in thin films on disordered substrates
Michael Zaiser, Paolo Moretti, Avraam Konstantinidis +1
We formulate a theoretical model of the shear failure of a thin film tethered to a rigid substrate. The interface between film and substrate is modeled as a cohesive layer with ran…
Depinning and critical current characteristics of topologically defected vortex lattices
Paolo Moretti, M. -Carmen Miguel
We discuss the role of dislocation assemblies such as grain boundaries in the dynamic response of a driven vortex lattice. We simulate the depinning of a field-cooled vortex polycr…
Dislocation interactions mediated by grain boundaries
Paolo Moretti, Lasse Laurson, Mikko J. Alava
The dynamics of dislocation assemblies in deforming crystals indicate the emergence of collective phenomena, intermittent fluctuations and strain avalanches. In polycrystalline mat…
