Interfacial Cavitation with Surface Tension: New Insights into Failure of Particle Reinforced Polymers
Xuanhe Li, Brendan Unikewicz, S. Chockalingam +2
Understanding and mitigating the failure of reinforced elastomers has been a long-standing challenge in many industrial applications. In an early attempt to shed light on the funda…

The phase-field model of fracture incorporating Mohr-Coulomb, Mogi-Coulomb, and Hoek-Brown strength surfaces
S Chockalingam, Adrian Buganza Tepole, Aditya Kumar
Classical phase-field theories of brittle fracture capture toughness-controlled crack growth but do not account for the material's strength surface, which governs fracture nucleati…

On the Nonlinear Eshelby Inclusion Problem and its Isomorphic Growth Limit
J. E. Bonavia, S. Chockalingam, T. Cohen
In the late 1950's, Eshelby's linear solutions for the deformation field inside an ellipsoidal inclusion and, subsequently, the infinite matrix in which it is embedded were publish…
