Crack thickness
Macroscopic
cracks do not appear as a result of an ideal separation of two adjacent atomic
layers. Just the opposite, cracks appear as a result of the development of
multiple micro-cracks triggered by the massive breakage of atomic bonds. The microcracking
and the bond breakage are not confined to two neighbor atomic planes: the
process involves thousands atomic planes within the representative characteristic
volume of size h. This size defines the width (not the lenth) of the damage
localization zone and it can be called the crack thickness. The knowledge of

Question
I just was wondeing what is the physical meaning of K (bulk modulus) going to zero? does anyone know any materials with very small bulk modulus?
MSCI Scholoarships (Labex MS2T) - at UTC
UTC is pleased to announce the start of the second year of the MSCI master in Interacting Complex Systems, taught in English.
MSCI delivers a national master diploma fully accredited by French Ministry of Higher Education.
