Abstract
A model of the fragmentation process is developed, based on the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics, which predicts the average fragment size as a function of strain rate and material properties. This approach permits a unification of previous results, yielding Griffith’s solution in the low-strain-rate limit and Grady’s solution at high strain rates.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
