Siloxane molecules: Nonlinear elastic behavior and fracture characteristics
Tianchi Li, Eric R. Dufresne, Martin Kröger +1
Fracture phenomena in soft materials span multiple length- and timescales. This poses a major challenge in computational modeling and predictive materials design. To pass quantitat…
Polycrystallinity enhances stress build-up around ice
Dominic Gerber, Lawrence A. Wilen, Eric R. Dufresne +1
Damage caused by freezing wet, porous materials is a widespread problem, but is hard to predict or control. Here, we show that polycrystallinity makes a great difference to the str…
The generalized Clapeyron equation and its application to confined ice growth
Robert W. Style, Dominic Gerber, Alan W. Rempel +1
Most theoretical descriptions of stresses induced by freezing are rooted in the (generalized) Clapeyron equation, which predicts the pressure that a solid can exert as it cools bel…
