Statistical physicists and social scientists both extensively study some characteristic features
of the unequal distributions of energy, cluster, or avalanche sizes and of income, wealth …

We discuss the cooperative failure dynamics in the fiber bundle model where the individual
elements or fibers are Hookean springs that have identical spring constants but different …

In this book, the authors bring together basic ideas from fracture mechanics and statistical
physics, classical theories, simulation and experimental results to make the statistical …

We have studied few social inequality measures associated with the sub-critical dynamical
features (measured in terms of the avalanche size distributions) of four self-organized critical …

Inequalities are abundant in a society with a number of agents competing for a limited
amount of resources. Statistics on such social inequalities are usually represented by the …

We have numerically studied a mean-field fiber bundle model of fracture at a non-zero
temperature and acted upon by a constant external tensile stress. The individual fibers fail …

In this paper, the fiber energy in composite materials, subject to an external constant load, is
studied. The investigation is done in the framework of fiber bundle model with randomly …

The fiber bundle model is essentially an array of elements that break when sufficient load is
applied on them. With a local loading mechanism, this can serve as a model for a one …

It has long been conjectured that (rapid) fracture propagation dynamics in materials and
turbulent motion of fluids are two manifestations of the same physical process. The …

We have numerically studied a mean-field fiber bundle model of fracture at a non-zero
