The toughest hydrogel in the world
The class started today. I'll be teaching fracture mechanics this semester. I'll be mostly using the class notes I wrote in 2010, but will post updated ones.
In today's class I covered "Trouble with linear elastic theory of strength." I have just posted updated notes of the lecture. The new notes begin with the follwoing paragraphs.
Phase-field modelling of crack in fixed grid
In phase field method how one can specify the crack in fixed grid?
In case of finite element method one uses two overlapping nodes to model crack, which nodes separate after crack propagation. In case of phase-field, generally people use fixed grid finite difference method. My question is how the same node point can show two different displacements when crack has passed through it like FEM?
