Propagating mode-I fracture in amorphous materials using the continuous random network (CRN) model
Shay I Heizler, David A. Kessler, Herbert Levine
We study propagating mode-I fracture in two dimensional amorphous materials using atomistic simulations. We used the continuous random network (CRN) model of an amorphous material,…
Does the continuum theory of dynamic fracture work?
David A. Kessler, Herbert Levine
We investigate the validity of the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics approach to dynamic fracture. We first test the predictions in a lattice simulation, using a formula of Eshelby…
Mode I fracture in a nonlinear lattice with viscoelastic forces
Shay I. Heizler, David A. Kessler, Herbert Levine
We study Mode I fracture in a viscoelastic lattice model with a nonlinear force law, with a focus on the velocity and linear stability of the steady-state propagating solution. Thi…
Nonlinear lattice model of viscoelastic Mode III fracture
David A. Kessler, Herbert Levine
We study the effect of general nonlinear force laws in viscoelastic lattice models of fracture, focusing on the existence and stability of steady-state Mode III cracks. We show tha…
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…
