Introduction to Critical Phenomena through the Fiber Bundle Model of Fracture
arXiv:1810.02145 · doi:10.1088/1361-6404/aaeb53
Abstract
We discuss the failure dynamics of the Fiber Bundle Model, especially in the equal-load-sharing scheme. We also highlight the "Critical" aspects of their dynamics in comparison with those in standard thermodynamic systems undergoing phase transitions.
