When brittle hydrogels fail, several mechanisms conspire to alter the state of stress near the tip of a crack, and it is challenging to identify which mechanism is dominant. In the fracture of brittle solids, a sufficient far-field stress results in the co ...

Brittle solids typically fail by growth and propagation of a crack from a surface flaw. This process is modelled using linear elastic fracture mechanics, which parameterizes the toughness of a material by the critical stress intensity factor, or the prefac ...

In fracture mechanics, polyacrylamide hydrogel has been widely used as a model material in experiments due to its optical transparency, the brittle nature of its failure, and low Rayleigh wave velocity. Indeed, linear elastic fracture mechanics has been us ...

Rapid advances in biomedical applications and soft robotics demand load-bearing soft materials that can be processed into complex 3D shapes. Direct ink writing (DIW) enables the fabrication of customizable shapes with locally varying compositions. Hydrogel ...
