Error Diagrams and Temporal Correlations in a Fracture Model with Characteristic and Power-Law Distributed Avalanches
Yamir Moreno, Miguel Vazquez-Prada, Javier B. Gomez +1
Forecasting failure events is one of the most important problems in fracture mechanics and related sciences. In this paper, we use the Molchan scheme to investigate the error diagr…
Instability of scale-free networks under node-breaking avalanches
Y. Moreno, J. B. Gómez, A. F. Pacheco
The instability introduced in a large scale-free network by the triggering of node-breaking avalanches is analyzed using the fiber-bundle model as conceptual framework. We found, b…
Time to failure of hierarchical load-transfer models of fracture
M. Vazquez-Prada, J. B. Gomez, Y. Moreno +1
The time to failure, , of dynamical models of fracture for a hierarchical load-transfer geometry is studied. Using a probabilistic strategy and juxtaposing hierarchical structur…
Probabilistic Approach to Time-Dependent Load-Transfer Models of Fracture
J. B. Gomez, Y. Moreno, A. F. Pacheco
A probabilistic method for solving time-dependent load-transfer models of fracture is developed. It is applicable to any rule of load redistribution, i.e, local, hierarchical, etc.…
