Abstract

Dislocation motion and crack propagation are studied in model quasicrystals both by geometrical considerations and large scale molecular dynamics simulations. It turns out that two characteristic features of quasicrystals govern plasticity and the rough appearence of cleavage planes: the phason degree of freedom and the cluster structure.
