H. Inaoka et al., ERROR PROPAGATION IN A MODEL OF IMPACT FRACTURE, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 58(4), 1998, pp. 5179-5182
Sensitivity to the perturbation in the initial condition of a model of
impact fracture is observed. Numerical simulations show that the smal
l perturbation in the initial condition is expanded following a power
law by the dynamics of the model. The propagation of the effect of the
perturbation inside a fractured object during the crack propagation i
s discussed. [S1063-651X(98)03810-0].
