Physical picture for fractures in stratified materials: viscoelastic effects in large cracks
Okumura, Ko
Original · EN
We present an intuitive physical picture for fractures in nacre-type stratified materials via scaling arguments: strain distributions around a fracture are rather different depending on directions and size of fractures. We thus observe that viscoelastic effects are important for parallel fractures. These effect are taken into account via the simplest viscoelastic model for weakly cross-linked polymer. Within a certain limit, we find a trumpet crack shape similar to that in certain polymers and make predictions for the fracture energy of certain stratified materials in this mode.
