Topological Origin of Fracture Toughening in Complex Solids: the Viewpoint of Rigidity Theory [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In order to design tougher materials, it is crucial to understand the relationship between their composition and their resistance to fracture. To this end, we investigate the fracture toughness of usual sodium silicate glasses (NS) and complex calcium--silicate--hydrates (CSH), the binding phase of cement.
