Fracture Morphologies in Particulate Suspensions

Films of a colloidal suspension solidify and crack during drying and discontinuously shearthickening suspensions shear-jam and fracture under applied stress. In both systems, the morphology and dynamics of fracture reveal the internal stresses in the material: craquelures in old paintings reveal det...
