Predicting its value from the solid structure at the atomistic scale remains elusive, even in the simplest situations of brittle fracture. We report here numerical simulations of crack propagation in two-dimensional fuse networks of different periodic geometries, which are electrical analogs of bidimensional brittle crystals under antiplanar loading. Fracture energy is determined from Griffith’s analysis of energy balance during crack propagation, and fracture toughness is determined from fits of the displacement fields with Williams’ asymptotic solutions. Significant size dependencies are evidenced in small lattices, with fracture energy and fracture toughness both converging algebraically with system size toward well-defined material-constant values in the limit of infinite system size. The convergence speed depends on the loading conditions and is faster when the symmetry of the considered lattice increases. The material constants at infinity obey Irwin’s relation and properly define the material resistance to failure. Their values are approached up to <span>(sim 15%)</span> using the recent analytical method proposed in Nguyen and Bonamy (Phys Rev Lett 123:205503, 2019). Nevertheless, the deviation remains finite and does not vanish when the system size goes to infinity. We finally show that this deviation is a consequence of the lattice discreetness and decreases when the super-singular terms of Williams’ solutions (absent in a continuum medium but present here due to lattice discreetness) are taken into account.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":590,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fracture","volume":"248 1-3","pages":"257 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10704-024-00812-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, linear elastic fracture mechanics has been used successfully to model the fracture of polyacrylamide hydrogels. However, in soft materials such as hydrogels, the crack opening can be extremely large, leading to substantial geometric and material nonlinearity at the crack tip. Furthermore, poroelasticity may also modify the local mechanical state within the polymer network due to solvent migration. Direct characterization of the kinematic fields and the poroelastic response at the crack tip is lacking.

With this method, we charactherize the displacement fields, rotation fields, stretch fields, strain fields, and swelling fields. These measurements confirm the complex multi-axial stretching near the crack tip and the substantial geometric nonlinearity, particularly in the wake of the crack, where material rotation exceeds <span>(30^{circ })</span>. Comparison between the measured fields and the corresponding prediction from linear elastic fracture mechanics highlights an increasing disagreement in the direct vicinity of the crack tip, particularly for displacement component <span>(u_x)</span> and the through-thickness strain component <span>(varepsilon _{zz})</span>.

In this article, we aim to explore these new possibilities in terms of in-service behaviour, especially in terms of crack propagation by performing an in-depth study in the framework of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM). The specific configuration studied here is the case where the architected zones are symmetrically positioned adjacently to the crack path and no propagation occurs within the zone. This problem is addressed both numerically and experimentally. Numerically, an path-following algorithm is used to simulate the crack propagation. Different toughening aspects of the addition of architected zones are identified. First, a temporary increase in crack propagation resistance is shown. It comes from a temporary increase of stored elastic energy in the architected zones, thus acting as mechanical springs. Second, a snap-back instability appears, linked to the release of the previously stored energy. It leads to a higher energy dissipated by the crack propagation process. Experimentally, we evidence the possibility to reproduce the theoretical results using 3D printing. A good quantitative comparison is obtained between numerical and experimental approaches. This study shows that it is possible to improve crack propagation resistance while lightening the component by addition of architected zones outside the crack path. This opens up the way to tune finely, through the use of optimization tools, the crack propagation response.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":590,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fracture","volume":"248 1-3","pages":"237 - 255"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
