Statistical Physics of Fracture: Scientific Discovery through High-Performance Computing

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

Fracture is an important issue for materials used in all energy technologies. The emphasis in this project is on obtaining quantitative agreement between simulation results (such as aniostropic roughness exponents) and experimental results. Investigations will focus on scaling laws of fracture,

avalanche perecursors, universality of fracture strength distribution, size effect on the mean fracture strength, and finally the scaling and universality

of crack surface roughness.
