Introduction to Critical Phenomena through the Fiber Bundle Model of Fracture

Statistical Mechanics 2018-12-26 v1

Abstract

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 with those in standard thermodynamic systems undergoing phase transitions.
