The observed repulsive behaviour of two initially collinear cracks growing towards each other and leading to a hook-shaped path questioned recently the validity of the Principle of Local Symmetry within Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics theory [1]. Theoretical and numerical work has solved this dilemma, providing the precise geometric conditions for the existence of the repulsive phase and revealing a multi-scale behaviour of the repulsive/attractive transition [2].
Nonlinear elastic materials such as elastomers depart from the prediction of linear elasticity for interacting cracks. We performed experiments on PDMS film that indeed show a maximum angle of repulsion not only significantly smaller than the one of linear elasticity, but also smaller than the one observed in polymer films with a plastic process zone. Our FEM simulations on a Mooney-Rivlin material confirm that the nonlinear elastic response of PDMS modifies the crack path, reducing the repulsive strength between the two interacting cracks.
