Researchers at The University of Tokyo showed that, for amorphous materials, cyclic material fatigue can begin to fracture at the same level of stress as fractures due to constant loading. By using computer simulations, the team could distinguish four distinct failure modes. This work can improve the lifetime of industrial machinery.

Past the Breaking Point

Researchers at The University of Tokyo simulated fractures in amorphous materials due to both cyclic fatigue and constant stress using course-grained dynamics, and demonstrated various failure modes, which can help improve reliability of materials
