This step enables for the first time to apply the principles of fracture mechanics to all disciplines dealing with confined particles comminution such as geophysics, geology, geotechnical engineering, mineral processing, agriculture and food industry, pharmaceutics and powder technology. This critical pressure is surprisingly complementary to Griffith's critical tensile stress for near-continuous materials.
#FRACTURE 2007 TRIAL#
A husband is on trial for the attempted murder of his wife, in what is seemingly an open/shut case for the ambitious district attorney trying to put him away. Beachum visits Jennifer (Embeth Davidtz) at the hospital and tells her about his family. Here I establish this relation using energy principles and derive a critical comminution pressure for brittle granular materials. AKA:, Fracture 2007, Das perfekte Verbrechen. A love scene between Nikki Gardner (Rosamund Pike) and Beachum (Ryan Gosling) (seen in two versions: the first is rather 'energetic', the second has a more sensual tone), in Nikki's apartment Beachum carries her down the stairs. However, the analogy between the mechanics of breakage and fracture is missing. Recently, I have developed an energy theory, called breakage mechanics, based on the concept of breakage.


Nothing similar was developed for brittle granular matter, although in these materials fracture propagates in the sense of comminution. In a very succinct way, Griffith connected between three important aspects of the fracture process: (i) the material, (ii) the stress level, and (iii) the geometry of the crack. Needless to say that his celebrated work has revolutionized the world of material science. It is nearly a century since Alan Arnold Griffith developed his energy criterion for the fracture propagation of cracks in ‘near-continuous’ solids.
