feeds.aps.org · By Swati Gupta, Mark A. Wilson, Scott J. Grutzik & Derek H. Warner ·
The Brief
- Atomistic simulations of subcritical crack growth rates in silica glass are reported as quantitatively aligning with experimental data.
- The result was attributed to careful selection of the simulation cell, according to the source excerpt.
- The work is published in an APS journal with the DOI 10.1103/g9x1-wnnd, authored by Swati Gupta, Mark A. Wilson, Scott J. Grutzik, and Derek H. Warner.
Why it matters
It suggests molecular-scale simulations can reproduce measured slow crack growth in glass under vacuum, which may help engineers and materials scientists predict glass failure without relying only on experiments.
Who’s affected
- materials scientists studying glass fracture
- engineers who depend on long-term glass reliability
