The goal of
this project is to calculate the fracture toughness of
interfaces between materials. There are three
current projects:
1. Discrete
dislocation simulation of fracture of single crystals
(Jean Gullickson, Alan Needleman)
2. Discrete
dislocation simulations of fracture of bi-material
interfaces (Mike O'Day, Bill Curtin)
3. Continuum
simulations to predict the influence of roughness on
the fracture toughness of an interface (Olivier
Magdelene, Allan Bower, Lou Hector, Leo Lev)
