Crack (Non)Propagation in Amorphous Media
Tsviki Y. Hirsh, David A. Kessler
We study Mode I crack propagation in amorphous material via a molecular dynamics simulation of a binary alloy with pairwise central-force interactions. We find that when the system…
Velocity Fluctuations in Dynamical Fracture: the Role of Microcracks
E. Bouchbinder, D. Kessler, I. Procaccia
We address the velocity fluctuations of fastly moving cracks in stressed materials. One possible mechanism for such fluctuations is the interaction of the main crack with micro cra…
Steady-state mode III cracks in a viscoelastic lattice model
Leonid Pechenik, Herbert Levine, David A. Kessler
We extend the Slepyan solution of the problem of a steady-state crack in an infinite ideally brittle lattice model to include dissipation in the form of Kelvin viscosity. As a demo…
Steady-state mode I cracks in a viscoelastic triangular lattice
Leonid Pechenik, Herbert Levine, David A. Kessler
We continue our study of the exact solutions for steady-state cracks in ideally brittle viscoelastic lattice models by focusing on mode I in a triangular system. The issues we addr…
