In the present paper, we motivate and describe a numerical approach in order to detect the creation of fractures in a facet of a crystal evolving by anisotropic mean curvature. The result appears to be in accordance with the known examples of facet-breaking. Graphical simulations are included.

In questo lavoro, presentiamo e discutiamo un approccio numerico al problema di individuare la nascita di fratture in una faccia di un cristallo che si evolve per curvatura media anisotropa. I risultati sono in accordo con gli esempi noti fino ad ora di frattura di facce. Sono inoltre incluse alcune simulazioni grafiche.
