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…

Crack Roughness in the 2D Random Threshold Beam Model

Phani K. V. V. Nukala, Stefano Zapperi, Mikko Alava +1

We study the scaling of two-dimensional crack roughness using large scale beam lattice systems. Our results indicate that the crack roughness obtained using beam lattice systems do…

Effect of Disorder and Notches on Crack Roughness

Phani K. V. V. Nukala, Stefano Zapperi, Mikko J. Alava +1

We analyze the effect of disorder and notches on crack roughness in two dimensions. Our simulation results based on large system sizes and extensive statistical sampling indicate t…

Statistical Models of Fracture

Mikko J. Alava, Phani K. V. V. Nukala, Stefano Zapperi

Disorder and long-range interactions are two of the key components that make material failure an interesting playfield for the application of statistical mechanics. The cornerstone…

Crack roughness and avalanche precursors in the random fuse model

Stefano Zapperi, Phani Kumar V. V. Nukala, Srdan Simunovic

We analyze the scaling of the crack roughness and of avalanche precursors in the two dimensional random fuse model by numerical simulations, employing large system sizes and extens…

Percolation and localization in the random fuse model

Phani Kumar V. V. Nukala, Srdan Simunovic, Stefano Zapperi

We analyze damage nucleation and localization in the random fuse model with strong disorder using numerical simulations. In the initial stages of the fracture process, damage evolv…
