Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

We review the recent literature on the simulation of the structure and deformation of
amorphous solids, including oxide and metallic glasses. We consider simulations at different …

In this paper we review the peridynamic model for brittle fracture and use it to investigate
crack branching in brittle homogeneous and isotropic materials. The peridynamic …

Connecting polymer network fracture to molecular-level chain scission remains a quandary.
While the Lake-Thomas model predicts the intrinsic fracture energy of a polymer network is …

Recently proposed phase-field models offer self-consistent descriptions of brittle fracture.
Here, we analyze these theories in the quasistatic regime of crack propagation. We show …

An active matrix‐type stretchable display is realized by overlay‐aligned transfer of inorganic
light‐emitting diode (LED) and single‐crystal Si thin film transistor (TFT) with roll processes …

We develop continuum field model for crack propagation in brittle amorphous solids. The
model is represented by equations for elastic displacements combined with the order …

The elasticity of a solid can vary depending on its state of deformation. For example, metals
will soften and polymers may stiffen as they are deformed to levels approaching failure. It is …

We combine in situ transmission electron microscopy and large-scale molecular dynamics
simulations to investigate brittle fracture in 2D monolayer MoS2, revealing that cracks …

As the speed of a crack propagating through a brittle material increases, a dynamical
instability leads to an increased roughening of the fracture surface. Cracks moving at low …
