New Study Published in Physical Review Letters

Our paper titled “Elastic instability behind brittle fracture” by me, P. Ciarletta, G. Vitale, C. Maurini, and L. Truskinovsky has been published in Physical Review Letters. The research explores how brittle cracks in initially flawless soft elastic solids are preceded by a nonlinear elastic instability, challenging traditional linearized elasticity theory.
