Abstract

Many properties of rapid fracture may profitably be studied in atomic scale computer simulations involving relatively small numbers of atoms. A first result of such a study is that qualitative properties of Mode III fracture change little when one explores various shapes of the interparticle potential, introduction of randomness, and elevated temperatures. A second result is that Mode I fracture is considerably more susceptible to instability than had previously been understood, and that to obtain stable Mode I fracture may require non-central forces between atoms.
