Finite size effects on crack front pinning at heterogeneous planar interfaces: Experimental, finite elements and perturbation approaches
Sylvain Patinet, L Alzate, E Barthel +3
Understanding the role played by the microstructure of materials on their macroscopic failure properties is an important challenge in solid mechanics. Indeed, when a crack propagat…
Hydrodynamic coarsening in phase-separated silicate melts
David Bouttes, Océane Lambert, Corinne Claireaux +7
Using in-situ synchrotron tomography, we investigate the coarsening dynamics of barium borosilicate melts during phase separation. The 3-D geometry of the two interconnected phases…
Damage mechanisms in the dynamic fracture of nominally brittle polymers
Davy Dalmas, Claudia Guerra, Julien Scheibert +1
Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) provides a consistent framework to evaluate quantitatively the energy flux released to the tip of a growing crack. Still, the way in which…
Understanding fast macroscale fracture from microcrack post mortem patterns
Claudia Guerra, Julien Scheibert, Daniel Bonamy +1
Dynamic crack propagation drives catastrophic solid failures. In many amorphous brittle materials, sufficiently fast crack growth involves small-scale, high-frequency microcracking…
The mechanics of glass and functionalised glass surfaces
E. Barthel, M. Beauvais, R. Briard +11
Glass is highly sensitive to surface flaws generated by contact. Surface cracks threaten both its mechanical strength and visual aspect. Recent trends in glass functionalisation by…
