0 D ec 1 99 6 SCALING FOR THE COALESCENCE OF MICROFRACTURES BEFORE BREAKDOWN
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the behavior of fracture in disordered systems close to the breakdown point. We simulate numerically both scalar (resistor network) and vectorial (spring network) models with threshold disorder, driven at constant current and stress rate respectively. We analyze the scaling of the susceptibility and the cluster size close to the breakdown. We observe avalanche behavior and clustering of the cracks. We find that the scaling exponents are consistent with those found close to a mean-field spinodal and present analogies between the coalescence of microfractures and the coalescence of droplets in a metastable magnetic system. Finally, we discuss different experimental conditions and some possible theoretical interpretations of the results.

Stagewise Modeling of Liquid-Liquid Extraction Column (RDC)
Stagewise forward mixing model considering coalescence and redispersion of drops was used to predict the performance of Rotating Disc Liquid-Liquid Extraction Contactors. Experimental data previously obtained in two RDC columns of 7.62cm diameter, 73.6cm height and 21.9cm diameter, 150cm height were used to evaluate the model predictions. Drop-side mass transfer coefficients were predicted appl...

It is shown that the four dimensional antiferromagnetic lattice φ model has the usual non-asymptotically free scaling law in the UV regime around the chiral symmetrical critical point. The theory describes a scalar and a pseudoscalar particle. A continuum effective theory is derived for low energies. A possibility of constructing a model with a single chiral boson is mentioned.

In this paper, we study in details the critical behavior of theO(n) quantum φ4 model with long-range interaction decaying with the distances r by a power law as r−d−σ in the large n-limit. The zero-temperature critical behavior is discussed. Its alteration by the finite temperature and/or finite sizes in the space is studied. The scaling behaviours are studied in different regimes depending upo...

The change of the friction law from a mesoscopic level to a macroscopic level is studied in the spring-block models introduced by Burridge-Knopoff. We find that the Coulomb law is always scale invariant. Other proposed scaling laws are only invariant under certain conditions.
