Lett. 85 (2000) 662-665 | | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics; Materials Science; Pattern Formation and Solitons | cond-mat.stat-mech cond-mat.mtrl-sci nlin.PS | | Abstract: | Fracture in quasi-statically driven systems is studied by means of a discrete spring-block model. Developed from close comparison with desiccation experiments, it describes crack formation induced by friction on a substrate. The model produces cellular, hierarchical patterns of cracks, characterized by a mean fragment size linear in the layer thickness, in agreement with experiments. The selection of a stationary fragment size is explained by exploiting the correlations prior to cracking. A scaling behavior associated with the thickness and substrate coupling, derived and confirmed by simulations, suggests why patterns have similar morphology despite their disparity in scales. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0006061 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
