Physicists unlock the mysteries of crack formation
In research published in the March 4 issue of the journal Nature, Northeastern University physicists have pioneered the development of large-scale computer simulations to assess how cracks form and proliferate in materials ranging from steel and glass to nanostructures and human bones. For years, scientists have tried to understand the propagation of cracks and how they affect the materials in which they form, said Alain Karma, distinguished physics professor and lead investigator on the project.?We now better understand what path cracks follow as they propagate in a stressed material,? said Karma, director of Northeastern?s Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Complex Systems.
