Cooperative dynamics in the Fiber Bundle Model
Bikas K. Chakrabarti, Soumyajyoti Biswas, Srutarshi Pradhan
We discuss the cooperative failure dynamics in the Fiber Bundle Model where the individual elements or fibers are Hookean springs, having identical spring constant but different br…
Can Local Stress Enhancement Induce Stability in Fracture Processes? Part II: The Shielding Effect
Jonas T. Kjellstadli, Eivind Bering, Srutarshi Pradhan +1
We use the local load sharing fiber bundle model to demonstrate a shielding effect where strong fibers protect weaker ones. This effect exists due to the local stress enhancement a…
Variation of elastic energy shows reliable signal of upcoming catastrophic failure
Srutarshi Pradhan, Jonas T. Kjellstadli, Alex Hansen
We consider the Equal-Load-Sharing Fiber Bundle Model as a model for composite materials under stress and derive elastic energy and damage energy as a function of strain. With grad…
Introduction to Critical Phenomena through the Fiber Bundle Model of Fracture
Srutarshi Pradhan, Bikas K. Chakrabarti
We discuss the failure dynamics of the Fiber Bundle Model, especially in the equal-load-sharing scheme. We also highlight the "Critical" aspects of their dynamics in comparison wit…
A Renormalization Group Procedure for Fiber Bundle Models
Srutarshi Pradhan, Alex Hansen, Purusattam Ray
We introduce two versions of a renormalization group scheme for the equal load sharing fiber bundle model. The renormalization group is based on formulating the fiber bundle model…
Can Local Stress Enhancement Induce Stability in Fracture Processes? Part I: Apparent Stability
Jonas T. Kjellstadli, Eivind Bering, Martin Hendrick +2
By comparing the evolution of the local and equal load sharing fiber bundle models, we point out the paradoxical result that stresses seem to make the local load sharing model stab…
