✦ Synopsis

Dynamics of fracture and its instabilities have been studied using two-dimensional viscoelastic models. Two models have been developed to describe disordered systems, in which the disorder appears as density or mass distribution at mesoscopic length scale. The first model is based on a triangular network of dissipative Born springs and the second model is based on finite element method with a similar mechanism of force relaxation as the first model. Results of computer simulations show a very similar crack branching and velocity oscillation behaviours as found in recent experiments. The mechanisms of branching are discussed.

Excitation energy transport among randomly spread and oriented donors is considered. An algorithm is presented which solves the master equation for energy transfer. The main idea is to apply a quasi-stationary approximation to groups of closely situated donors. This new algorithm is significantly fa
