Difference between lattice and continuum failure threshold in percolation
نویسنده
چکیده
A scaling analysis introduced by Halperin, Feng and Sen to estimate critical exponents for the electrical conductivity and elastic constant is extended to determine the critical behaviour of electrical and mechanical failure near the percolation threshold for a class of disordered continuum systems (Swiss-cheese models). Above the dimension dc = 3/2 for the electrical problem and at any dimension for the mechanical case, the exponents are significantly larger than their counterpart in the discrete lattice percolation network. The effect is more pronouced than for transport properties due to the extreme brittleness of the weakest bonds. J.

Finite-Size Scaling in Two-dimensional Continuum Percolation Models
We test the universal finite-size scaling of the cluster mass order parameter in two-dimensional (2D) isotropic and directed continuum percolation models below the percolation threshold by computer simulations. We found that the simulation data in the 2D continuum models obey the same scaling expression of massM to sample size L as generally accepted for isotropic lattice problems, but with a p...
متن کاملFractal Structure of Equipotential Curves on a Continuum Percolation Model
We numerically investigate the electric potential distribution over a twodimensional continuum percolation model between the electrodes. The model consists of overlapped conductive particles on the background with an infinitesimal conductivity. Using the finite difference method, we solve the generalized Laplace equation and show that in the potential distribution, there appear the quasi-equipo...
متن کاملPrecise determination of the critical percolation threshold for the three- dimensional ‘‘Swiss cheese’’ model using a growth algorithm
Precise values for the critical threshold for the three-dimensional ‘‘Swiss cheese’’ continuum percolation model have been calculated using extensive Monte Carlo simulations. These simulations used a growth algorithm and memory blocking scheme similar to what we used previously in three-dimensional lattice percolation. The simulations yield a value for the critical number density nc50.652 96060...
متن کاملExtraordinary Behavior in Correlated Site-Bond Percolation
Site-bond percolation is addressed in a very general class of correlated sitebond systems. The site-bond model analyzed provides a simple natural picture of disordered media such as porous materials, non-uniform surfaces adsorption potential, conductivity of inhomogeneous systems and landscapes. The bond (site) percolation threshold exhibits an extraordinary behavior, showing maxima and minima ...
متن کاملEffective transport properties of random composites: continuum calculations versus mapping to a network.
The effective transport properties and percolation of continuum composites have commonly been studied using discrete models, i.e., by mapping the continuum to a lattice or network. In this study we instead directly solve the continuum transport equations for composite microstructures both analytically and numerically, and we extract the continuum percolation threshold and scaling exponents for ...
