Stochastic flows in fracture mechanics

There are two modes by which gross deformation can occur in a solid. Slips may occur along crystal planes, or the atomic planes may be torn apart and create microcracks. Both are highly stochastic phenomena requiring attention from probabilists. The present work attempts to understand the creation a...

Description
Summary:There are two modes by which gross deformation can occur in a solid. Slips may occur along crystal planes, or the atomic planes may be torn apart and create microcracks. Both are highly stochastic phenomena requiring attention from probabilists. The present work attempts to understand the creation and growth of microcracks and their effect on the macro-level deformations.
