This week, we need to do work to address a component of our application that requires immediate attention. As a result, you may experience ERA to be intermittently available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your patience as we attend to the care and feeding of ERA!

A Review of Mechanisms and Models for Strength, Failure and Fragmentation

Modeling of catastrophic disruption requires understanding the processes of dynamic failure and fragmentation. This paper summarizes current mechanisms and models for dynamic failure, strength, and fragmentation, reviewing these from a mechanics perspective and with an emphasis on making links to the developing advances in these areas in the engineering and computational mechanics communities. We describe dynamic failure processes, examine size and rate effects, articulate the scaling concepts that arise naturally from these processes, and examine the influences of these processes on effective strength and fragmentation.
