Current Models of Dynamic Deformation and Fracture of Condensed Matter

Abstract

The main types (groups) of models of deformation and the fracture, used for the solution of problems of dynamic and shock wave deformation of materials, are considered. All models are divided into three main groups: macroscopic (models of mechanics of continuous medium), microstructural (based on the description of evolutions of ensemble of defects ) and atomistic (are used in calculations by methods of molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics). The short characteristic of models of the listed groups is given. Some approaches to development of the most perspective multilevel models are described. The simple test for applicability of models for the description of shock and wave processes are offered. Approaches to the description of destruction of materials and used at this criterion are considered. The perspective directions of development of models of dynamic deformation and fracture are suggested.
