Abstract
cRacklet: a spectral boundary integral method library for interfacial rupture simulation
Highlights
The study of dynamically propagating rupture along interfaces is of prime importance in various fields and system sizes, including tribology, engineering and geophysics (m to km) (Armstrong-Hélouvry et al, 1994; Ben-Zion, 2008; Vanossi et al, 2013)
Numerical simulations of these phenomena are computationally costly and challenging, as they usually require the coupling of two different spatio-temporal scales
A fine spatial discretization is needed to represent accurately the singular fields associated with the rupture edges
Summary
Statement of need cRacklet is a C++ library with a Python interface (Jakob et al, 2017) initiated as a collaboration between the Computational Solid Mechanics Laboratory at EPFL and the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. CRacklet implements a spectral formulation of the elastodynamics boundary integral relations between the displacements and the corresponding traction stress acting at a planar interface between two homogeneous elastic solids (Breitenfeld & Geubelle, 1998; Geubelle & Rice, 1995).
