Abstract:Quasicrystals (QCs) are representatives of a novel kind of material exhibiting a large number of remarkable specific properties. However, QCs are usually brittle, and crack propagation inevitably occurs in such materials. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the crack growth behaviors in QCs. In this work, the crack propagation of two-dimensional (2D) decagonal QCs is investigated by a fracture phase field method. In this method, a phase field variable is introduced to evaluate the damage of QCs nea… Show more
