Scaling with respect to disorder in time-to-failure
D. Sornette, J. V. Andersen
We revisit a simple dynamical model of rupture in random media with long-range elasticity to test whether rupture can be seen as a first-order or a critical transition. We find a c…

New model for surface fracture induced by dynamical stress
J. V. Andersen, L. J. Lewis
We introduce a model where an isotropic, dynamically-imposed stress induces fracture in a thin film. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study how the integrated fragment dist…
