A possible link between brittle and ductile failure by viewing fracture as a topological defect
A continuum model of fracture that describes, in principle, the propagation and interaction of arbitrary distributions of cracks and voids with evolving topology without a “fracture criterion” is developed. It involves a “law of motion” for crack tips, primarily as a kinematical consequence coupled...
