Who knew? SolidWorks Simulation can crunch numbers for more than just complex machinery designs!
Even potato chips can be put to the test with this powerful analysis tool. Can you guess which popular snack brand uses SolidWorks Simulation to perfect their crispy, crunchy creations?

Check out my commentary video on simulation of potato chips
The potato chip was modeled using about 10,000 shell elements with a brittle cracking material model supported in Abaqus/Explicit. This model assumes that material damage starts when the maximum principal stress reaches a critical value. The compressive behavior is linear elastic without damage. The material parameters are fictitious, as I wasn't able to measure them directly from the experiment.
Regarding the boundary conditions, the lower rigid part was fixed in all directions, and the upper tool moved down at a constant speed until it reached 50% of the initial distance. Lastly, the general contact algorithm was used with a Coulomb friction coefficient of 0.1, which is also an assumed value.
I also performed a simple physical test to compare the results from the Abaqus simulation. You can see that the post-failure behavior in the simulation is comparable to the test. Initially, the damage starts in the middle and evolves until the potato chip breaks in half. After that, the two broken pieces move apart as kinetic energy is converted from the elastic energy stored until the onset of fracture.
With this model, I also tried to investigate the effect of non-uniform thickness on the fracture pattern. I assumed that the shell thickness follows a normal distribution and performed random sampling to assign the thickness to each element.
In the picture, the fracture pattern from the simulation is not as random as the one from the test, but you can see it certainly affects the crack path. We might be able to get a more random fracture pattern if we consider uncertainties like loading direction or loading rate.

Jeez, we’re almost halfway through 2024. That’s pretty scary.
If you want to live like the 1%, do what 99% of motherfuckers don’t do. Pretty simple.
You can not he smart and just use brute force and become successful, you can be smart and be successful, or if you are gifted enough to be equipped with both, well then you’re a lethal weapon.
That’s just exactly what I’m going to do.
See you tomorrow🫶

Not everyone leads a multi-billion euro company, but I think there's a reason this guy does. The amount of honesty, self-reflection, and willingness to challenge pretty much every assumption (a.k.a. admit to being wrong or not knowing everything) is something every leader could learn from.
I know that not every company has the resources Supercell has, but how about trying at least one of the things described in this blog. Like transparency, trusting people, giving them freedom to do their work the way they want? Or celebrating mistakes with champagne?

This year I am writing how Supercell is changing to do better and more for our players, and how that requires us to try getting comfortable feeling uncomfortable 😃 As usual, it's a long one so sit back and grab a cup of coffee ☕!
