A finite element model for 3D random fiber networks was constructed to simulate
deformation and failure behavior of networks with dynamic bonding/debonding properties …

We treat a fault as an array of asperities with a prescribed statistical distribution of strengths.
When an asperity fails, the stress on the failed asperity is transferred to one or more adjacent …

We investigate the breakdown properties of a random resistor-fuse network in which each
network element behaves as a linear resistor if the voltage drop is less than a threshold …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) individually display exceptional mechanical properties, but the
strength of their mesoscale assemblies such as bundles has a fundamental disconnect, with …

In this paper we compare three distinct asymptotic analyses for the probability distribution for
strength of a certain class of fibrous materials. This class, which contains composite …

Tensile strength distribution of S-Glass fibers at small gage lengths on the order of the
ineffective length is required for both analytical and numerical models of composite …

The author studies the elasticity and failure characteristics of a system built by'association in
parallel'of links with identical spring constant but random failure thresholds. The occurrence …

We consider a multicomponent load-sharing system in which the failure rate of a given
component depends on the set of working components at any given time. Such systems can …

Various random network models have been developed recently to explain certain features of
fracture development in materials, including the character of 'cracks', the form of the strength …
