Simulation of Fractures

Movies
image from simulation
Our first study, Supersonic Crack Propagation In Brittle Fracture, presents excellent examples of brittle fracture, while the second study, Ductile Failure Of A Flawed FCC Solid Under Tension, addresses the ductile failure at the most fundamental level.

Below are links to snapsots and avi movies of the results:

  • Ductile Failure of a Flawed FCC Solid Under Tension
  • Supersonic Crack Propagation in Brittle Fracture
  • What we learned in a frantic few months of intense effort will be described. First, we present a brief discussion about simulating the dynamics of many atoms using big computers.
