This project investigates how materials behave under mechanical stress, focusing on the size-dependent effects and fluctuations in their strength. By applying statistical mechanics, it aims to develop a theory that can inform safety standards for materials used in various engineering applications.
Understanding how materials respond to external mechanical perturbation is a central problem of science and engineering.
While for most practical purposes it is useful to idealize the mechanical response of a material as a deterministic function of the externally applied perturbation, disorder and fluctuations are unavoidable, leading to sample-to-sample variations and non-trivial size effects.
The size dependence of strength is a well known but still unresolved issue in the fracture of material…
