MEAM Seminar: “Time and Rate Dependent Fracture of Polymer Gels and Interfaces”
Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.eduFracture of materials and interfaces is often time and rate dependent. The underlying mechanisms for the time and rate dependent fracture may include local molecular processes, viscoelasticity, and poroelasticity (solvent diffusion coupled with deformation). In this talk, I will present our recent works on two different mechanisms. First, the effects of poroelasticity on fracture of […]
