Failure time in the fiber-bundle model with thermal noise and disorder
Antonio Politi, Segio Ciliberto, Riccardo Scorretti
The average time for the onset of macroscopic fractures is analytically and numerically investigated in the fiber-bundle model with quenched disorder and thermal noise under a cons…
Failure time and critical behaviour of fracture precursors in heterogeneous materials
A. Guarino, S. Ciliberto, A. Garcimartin +2
The acoustic emission of fracture precursors, and the failure time of samples of heterogeneous materials (wood, fiberglass) are studied as a function of the load features and geome…
The effect of disorder on the fracture nucleation process
S. Ciliberto, A. Guarino, R. Scorretti
The statistical properties of failure are studied in a fiber bundle model with thermal noise. We show that the macroscopic failure is produced by a thermal activation of microcrack…
