We present numerical simulations for the fracture of the three dimensional random fuse model. The damage accumulated prior to fracture follows a Gaussian distribution, suggesting the absence of long-range correlations. The strength distribution is found to be Lognormal with a logarithmic size effect for the average strength. We relate this result with the distribution of damage clusters.

Abstract
We present numerical simulations for the fracture of the three dimensional random fuse model. The damage accumulated prior to fracture follows a Gaussian distribution, suggesting the absence of long-range correlations. The strength distribution is found to be Lognormal with a logarithmic size effect for the average strength. We relate this result with the distribution of damage clusters.File in questo prodotto:
