Effects of plastic distortion in the lattice curvature zone of a crack tip

详细

The paper proposes a discrete-continual method of excitable cellular automata for simulating the stress-strain state at crack tips and in notches with account of lattice curvature and plastic distortion through ion motion from lattice sites to interstices. The proposed nonlinear method allows one to determine the crack type and the character of fracture, to predict the possibility of dynamic rotations and structural turbulence, and to describe the processes of nonlinear wave structural transformations in strain localization bands involved in microporosity and tearing mode cracking.
