Discrete Element Modeling of Brittle Crack Roughness in Three Dimensions
Crack morphology obtained in the fracture of materials with a disordered micro-structure is studied using numericalsimulations. Physical properties are embedded on a regular three dimensional lattice as discrete stochastic elements which conform to the laws of linear elasticity. In this model, also...
