Abstract

<p>The method of using a spring network model with a breaking threshold is successful for the pattern formation of cracks in the drying process, in which paste is assumed as an elastic material. However recent researches reveal that the porous and rheological properties of paste influence the fracture process. After reviewing the formation of a crack pattern both in a thin layer of uniformly dried paste and in a directionally dried system, we describe the memory effect found by Nakahara and the drying-rate dependence of crack growth, which are distinctive features different from those in normal solids.</p>
