Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Computational Mechanics

Background:

  • Heterogeneous materials exhibit complex fracture behavior.
  • Understanding fracture mechanics is crucial for material design and failure analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate fracture behavior in a two-dimensional triangular lattice with bond disorder.
  • To analyze the influence of interaction potentials and dynamics on fracture progression.
  • To explore scaling properties and clustering of broken bonds.

Main Methods:

  • Simulations on a two-dimensional triangular lattice with bond disorder.
  • Utilized harmonic and Lennard-Jones interaction potentials.
  • Varied breaking thresholds and analyzed strain-controlled conditions.
  • Compared overdamped and dissipationless dynamics.

Main Results:

  • Fracture development was studied across the full strain range.
  • No qualitative differences in fracture behavior were observed between harmonic and Lennard-Jones potentials.
  • Scaling properties with lattice size were investigated.
  • Clustering of broken bonds was analyzed.
  • The role of kinetic energy in fracture was examined.

Conclusions:

  • The chosen interaction potentials and dynamics do not qualitatively alter fracture behavior in this disordered lattice model.
  • Fracture progression and bond clustering are key characteristics of heterogeneous material failure.
