Abstract
Behaviour of an atomic structure in the vicinity of the crack tip is simulated. Buckling and postbuckling deformation of three- and four-atomic cells at generalized tension is studied. A discrete-integral fracture criterion is proposed for normal rupture cracks when stress fields have a singular component, vectors of fields of stresses and deformations being collinear. When formulating the proposed criterion, we used the new rank of solutions, which differ from solutions applied in formulating the classical sufficient fracture criterion, in conformity with Novozhilov's hybrid model. The proposed criterion permits limiting passage to necessary criterion when energetic characteristics of postbuckling deformation of cells can be neglected within the limit. Values of critical loads obtained in conformity with the sufficient criterion essentially differ from those obtained in conformity with the necessary criterion.
