Anomalous Roughness of Fracture Surfaces in 2D Fuse Models
Phani K. V. V. Nukala, Stefano Zapperi, Mikko Alava +1
We study anomalous scaling and multiscaling of two-dimensional crack profiles in the random fuse model using both periodic and open boundary conditions. Our large scale and extensi…

Fracture size effects from disordered lattice models
Mikko J. Alava, Phani K. V. V. Nukala, Stefano Zapperi
We study size effects in the fracture strength of notched disordered samples using numerical simulations of lattice models for fracture. In particular, we consider the random fuse…
