Discussion of fracture paper #29 - Fast crack growth in fibre reinforced composites

Submitted by ESIS on Tue, 04/06/2021 - 17:03

The outstanding and brilliantly written paper, "Modeling of Dynamic Mode I Crack Growth in Glass Fiber-reinforced Polymer Composites: Fracture Energy and Failure Mechanism" by Liu, Y, van der Meer, FP, Sluys, LJ and Ke, L, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 243, 2021, applies a numerical model to study the dynamics of a crack propagating in a glass fiber reinforced polymer. The paper is a school example of how a paper should be written. Everything is well described and carefully arranged in logical order.

Maurice Jaswon: link to a biographical note

Submitted by Mogadalai Gururajan on Tue, 04/06/2021 - 07:26

I recently posted a C code for the solution of Eshelby problem based on the paper by Jaswon and Bhargava.

In the last couple of days, I learnt that Jaswon also worked with Cottrell on solute drag and is one of the pioneers of boundary element method. The following paper by Martin gives a nice introduction to Jaswon and his work -- along with a complete listing of Jaswon's papers. There is also a lovely photograph of Jaswon with R D Bhargava in the paper and the first few references are also a good place for those who want to understand the history of boundary element method.

Eshelby solution: 2-D code for benchmarking

Submitted by Mogadalai Gururajan on Sat, 04/03/2021 - 05:54

This is a C code based on Jaswon and Bhargava for 2-D solution for the Eshelby problem. Please feel free to write to me in case you find any errors. I am sharing this code under GNU GPL license. In order to upload the code, the file extension is given as txt. Once you download the code, remove the .txt and keep only the .c extension. The command

gcc JaswonBhargava.c -lm

will compile and give you the executable to run.
