Implications of Realistic Fracture Criteria on Crack Morphology

We study the effects realistic fracture criteria have on crack morphology obtained in numerical simulations with a stochastic discrete element method. Results are obtained with two criteria which are consistent with the theory of elasticity and compared with previous results using the original crite...
