From stress corrosion to catastrophic fracture mechanisms in molecular dynamics models of brittle materials

Fracture propagation in brittle materials has been studied using hybrid molecular dynamics simulations, allowing the use of quantum calculations wherever and whenever needed by the problem under investigation. Several timescales of the fracture process have been taken into consideration, going from...
