The random fuse network as a model of rupture in a disordered medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 The rupture problem in a disordered system is investigated through numerical simulations and experiments in a discrete fusewire network. Statistical results on the current distribution and the maximum current as a function of the density of defects in the network are compared with theoretical interpretations. Specific defect interactions (enhancement and screening effects) are emphasized. We discuss the analogies for the rupture problem between resistor networks and mechanical systems. J. Physique 48 (1987) 763-770 MAI 1987,

Cooperative effect of load and disorder in thermally activated rupture of a 2d random fuse network
A random fuse network, or equivalently a 2d spring network with quenched disorder, is submitted to a constant load and thermal noise, and studied by numerical simulations. Rupture is thermally activated and the lifetime follows an Arrhenius law where the energy barrier is reduced by disorder. Due to the non-homogenous distribution of forces from stress concentration at microcracks’ tips, spatia...
متن کاملFatigue in disordered media
We obtain the Paris law of fatigue crack propagation in a disordered solid using a fuse network model where the accumulated damage in each resistor increases with time as a power law of the local current amplitude. When a resistor reaches its fatigue threshold, it burns irreversibly. Over time, this drives cracks to grow until the system is fractured in two parts. We study the relation between ...
متن کاملA Flexible Integrated Forward/ Reverse Logistics Model with Random Path-based Memetic Algorithm
Due to business and environmental issues, the efficient design of an integrated forward/reverse logistics network has recently attracted more attention from researchers. The significance of transportation cost and customer satisfaction spurs an interest in developing a flexible network design model with different delivery paths. This paper proposes a flexible mixed-integer programming model to ...
متن کاملThe Role of Emotion Regulation Difficulties as a Mediator of the Relationship between Body Image Disturbance and Disordered Eating Behavior
Abstract Background: The prevalence of disordered eating behaviors has been reported to increase in recent decades; therefore, the search for specific psychological variables that may contribute to the etiology of this disorder is of great importance. The current study examined the mediating role of the emotion regulation difficulties on the relationship between body image disturbance and disor...
متن کاملStatistical properties of fracture in a random spring model.
Using large-scale numerical simulations, we analyze the statistical properties of fracture in the two-dimensional random spring model and compare it with its scalar counterpart: the random fuse model. We first consider the process of crack localization measuring the evolution of damage as the external load is raised. We find that, as in the fuse model, damage is initially uniform and localizes ...
