Abstract
This paper discusses a subcritical crack nucleation mechanism in a brittle solid within a real range of applied stress. A medium deformed by uniaxial tension is considered as an open nonequilibrium system of nuclei and electrons. Structural relaxation of the medium begins with the excitation of dynamic displacements during nonadiabatic Landau–Zener transitions. Dynamic displacements induce the instability of the medium to the longitudinal displacement wave. The kinetics of structural relaxation is described by two nonlinear parabolic kinetic equations for dynamic order parameters. Conditions are derived for the existence of localized solutions (autosolitons). The excitation of autosolitons leads to local elongation and cross-sectional reduction of the specimen. The resulting neck is a subcritical crack.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related in the physical mesomechanics and also solid-state physics, mechanics, materials science, geodynamics, non-destructive testing and in a large number of other fields where the physical mesomechanics may be used extensively. Papers dealing with the processing, characterization, structure and physical properties and computational aspects of the mesomechanics of heterogeneous media, fracture mesomechanics, physical mesomechanics of materials, mesomechanics applications for geodynamics and tectonics, mesomechanics of smart materials and materials for electronics, non-destructive testing are viewed as suitable for publication.
