Distorting crack-front geometry for enhanced toughness by manipulating bioinspired heterogeneity

Abstract Control of crack propagation is crucial to make tougher heterogeneous materials. As a crack interacts with material heterogeneities, its front distorts and adopts complex tortuous configurations. While the behavior of smooth cracks with straight fronts in homogeneous materials is well under...
