Brittle to quasi-brittle transition and crack initiation precursors in crystals with structural Inhomogeneities
Abstract Crack initiation emerges due to a combination of elasticity, plasticity, and disorder, and it displays strong dependence on the material’s microstructural details. The characterization of the structural uncertainty in the original microstructure is typically empirical and systematic charact...
