Phase diagram of brittle fracture in the semi-grand-canonical ensemble

We present a simulation method to assess the quasistatic fracture resistance of materials. Set within a semi-grand-canonical Monte Carlo (SGCMC) simulation environment, an auxiliary field - the bond rupture potential - is introduced to generate a sufficiently large number of possible microstates in...
