A new approach to the modeling and analysis of fracture through an extension of continuum mechanics to the nanoscale
The dissertation focuses on the analysis, through combined analytical and numerical techniques, of the partial differential equations arising from a new approach to modeling brittle fracture, based on extension of continuum mechanics to the nanoscale. The main part of this work deals with the analys...
