Abstract:Based on an extension of the fiber bundle model we investigate numerically the motion of a crack front through a weak plane separating a soft and an infinitely stiff block. We find that there are two regimes. At large scales the motion is consistent with the pinned elastic line model and we find a roughness exponent equal to 0.39±0.04 characterizing it. At smaller scales, coalescence of holes dominates the motion, giving a roughness exponent consistent with 2/3, the gradient percolation value. The length of th… Show more

“…In Gjerden et al [22], we presented evidence for two scaling regimes in the model we study here. For small values of the scaled elastic constant e-or equivalently large length scales-we found a roughness exponent ζ + = 0.39 ± 0.04, which is consistent with the flucutating line model.…”

In Gjerden et al [22], we measured the roughness locally using the average wavelet coefficient method [26,27]. Here we base our analysis on the variance of the front, again finding two regimes: a small-scale regime consistent with ordinary gradient percolation and a large-scale regime consistent with the fluctuating line model.…”

“…By refining the model proposed by Batrouni et al [20] and Gjerden et al [21], consisting of fibers clamped between a hard and a soft block and with a gradient in the breaking thresholds, we have identified two scaling regimes for the roughness of the advancing crack front [22]. On large scales we recover the roughness seen in the reanalysis of experimental data by Santucci et al [8], ζ + = 0.39 ± 0.04, consistent with the fluctuating line model.…”
We investigate numerically the dynamics of crack propagation along a weak plane using a model consisting of fibers connecting a soft and a hard clamp. This bottom-up model has previously been shown to contain the competition of two crack propagation mechanisms: coalescence of damage with the front on small scales and pinned elastic line motion on large scales. We investigate the dynamical scaling properties of the model, both on small and large scale. The model results compare favorable with experimental results on stable crack propagation between sintered PMMA plates.
