Fracture toughness of crystalline solids

Autor: James S. Langer

Publikováno v: Physical review. E, vol 103, iss 6-1

This paper describes an attempt to construct a first-principles theory of the fracture toughness of crystalline solids. It is based on the thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT), which starts with the assertion that dislocations in solids must obey t

My Career as a Theoretical Physicist—So Far

Autor: James S. Langer

Publikováno v: Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, vol 8, iss 1

Theoretical physics and the institutions that support it have changed greatly during my career. In this article, I recount some of my most memorable experiences as a physicist, first as a graduate student with Rudolf Peierls at the University of Birm
