摘要

The formation and subsequent healing of cracks and crack networks may control such diverse phenomena as the transport of radioactive materials in ceramics around nuclear reactors, the recurrence of earthquakes, and fluid migration in the Earth's crust. Although the process of crack opening has been widely studied for many years, the mechanism of crack healing remains controversial mainly because the driving forces controlling this process are not well understood. Here, we present the resuhs of experiments in which a liquid was injected into an elastic gel to obtain penny-shaped cracks that were subsequently allowed to close and heal. Depending on the properties of the gel and the injected liquid, two modes of healing were obtained. In the first mode, the crack heals completely through a linear process. The unexpected second mode of healing is nonlinear and is characterized by a "zipper-like" closure as the front moving along the crack margins may leave liquid inclusions trapped in the solid. This process is driven by the elastic rebound of the surrounding medium and the reduction in interfacial energy near the crack front. Our experiments reveal how linear arrays of fluid inclusions may be captured along preexisting fracture planes. This explains why previously fractured rocks may contain small amounts of fluids which permanently modify material properties.
