Dynamic Fracture Mechanics
L. B. Freund,John W. Hutchinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, basic elastodynamic solutions for a stationary crack and asymptotic fields near a moving crack tip are presented. But they do not consider the elasticity and rate effects during crack growth.

High strain-rate crack growth in rate-dependent plastic solids
L. B. Freund,John W. Hutchinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general expression for the near-tip stress intensity factor in terms of the remote intensity factor was derived for the overall release-rate of a growing crack in elastic/rate-dependent plastic solids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Fragmentation in Brittle Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider two energy-balance models based on energy balance and compare their predictions of fragment size to the results of numerical simulations, and propose a model that includes the time history of the process and the number, distribution, and strength of flaws in the material.

Instability of a biaxially stressed thin film on a substrate due to material diffusion over its free surface
L. B. Freund,Fjola Jonsdottir +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of a biaxially stressed thin film due to material diffusion over its surface is considered under both two-and three-dimensional conditions, and the stability condition is derived in the form of a difference between two positive definite quantities, one associated with surface energy and the other associated with strain energy.
