Thermally activated intermittent dynamics of creeping crack fronts along disordered interfaces
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Alain Cochard, Stéphane Santucci +2
We present a subcritical fracture growth model, coupled with the elastic redistribution of the acting mechanical stress along rugous rupture fronts. We show the ability of this mod…
Thermal weakening of cracks and brittle-ductile transition: a phase model
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Alain Cochard +2
We present a model for the thermally activated propagation of cracks in elastic matrices. The propagation is considered as a subcritical phenomenon, the kinetics of which being des…
Gaussian Statistics of Fracture Surfaces
Stéphane Santucci, Joachim Mathiesen, Knut Jørgen Måløy +6
We analyse the statistical distribution function for the height fluctuations of brittle fracture surfaces using extensive experimental data sampled on widely different materials an…
Local waiting time fluctuations along a randomly pinned crack front
Knut Jørgen Måløy, Stéphane Santucci, Jean Schmittbuhl +1
The propagation of an interfacial crack along a heterogeneous weak plane of a transparent Plexiglas block is followed using a high resolution fast camera. We show that the fracture…
