Abstract:The mechanical behavior of porous materials depends strongly on porosity and pore geometry, but also on morphological parameters characterizing the spatial arrangement of pores. Here we use bond-based peridynamics to study effects of disorder on the deformation and failure behavior of brittle porous solids both in the quasi-static limit and in case of dynamic loading scenarios. We show that structural disorder, which has a strong influence on stiffness, strength and toughness in the quasi-static limit, becomes… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
