Fracture mechanics and dislocation dynamics together underpin our understanding of how structural materials deform and ultimately fail under load. Fracture mechanics describes the initiation and ...
Fractures occur at all length scales, from those that are familiar to us, such as the breaking of a wine glass or a cell-phone screen, to those that are geological, such as earthquakes 1 or the ...
