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-dimensional interface separating the broken and unbroken…
Prediction of breakdown in disordered solids under external loading in a question of paramount importance. Here we use a fiber bundle model for disordered solids and record the time series of the avalanche sizes and energy bursts. The time…
Under an applied external load the global load-sharing fiber bundle model, with individual fiber strength thresholds sampled randomly from a probability distribution, will relax to an equilibrium state, or to complete bundle breakdown. The…
The topology of the network of load transmitting connections plays an essential role in the cascading failure dynamics of complex systems driven by the redistribution of load after local breakdown events. In particular, as the network…
We study fracture processes within a stochastic fiber-bundle model where it is assumed that after the failure of a fiber, each intact fiber obtains a random fraction of the failing load. Within a Markov approximation, the breakdown…
We report a novel critical behavior in the breakdown of an equal load sharing fiber bundle model at a dispersion $\delta_c$ of the breaking threshold of the fibers. For $\delta < \delta_c$, there is a finite probability $P_b$, that…
We study the scaling behaviors of a time-dependent fiber-bundle model with local load sharing. Upon approaching the complete failure of the bundle, the breaking rate of fibers diverges according to $r(t)\propto (T_f-t)^{-\xi}$, where $T_f$…
We consider quasistatic fiber bundle models with interactions. Classical load sharing rules are considered, i.e. local, global or decaying as a power-law of distance. All fibers are identically elastic, initially intact, and break at a…
We observe the failure process of a fiber bundle model with a variable stress release range, $\gamma$, higher the value of $\gamma$ lower the stress release range. By tuning $\gamma$ from low to high, it is possible to go from the…
We introduce a mixed-mode load sharing scheme in fiber bundle model. This model reduces exactly to equal load sharing (ELS) and local load sharing (LLS) models at the two extreme conditions of the load sharing rule. We identify two distinct…
In this work I have studied the effect of disorder and system size in fiber bundle model with a certain range of stress redistribution. The strength of the bundle as well as the failure abruptness is observed with varying disorder, stress…
We consider a fiber bundle model with a equal load sharing and uniformly distributed breakdown thresholds. A unified probability-theoretic approach was used to describe bundle under continuous and discrete load increase. It was shown that…
We study the constitutive behaviour, the damage process, and the properties of bursts in the continuous damage fiber bundle model introduced recently. Depending on its two parameters, the model provides various types of constitutive…
We present an extension of the continuous damage fiber bundle model to describe the gradual degradation of highly heterogeneous materials under an increasing external load. Breaking of a fiber in the model is preceded by a sequence of…
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 breaking strengths. When the bundle is stressed or strained,…
We study networks of coupled bistable elastic elements, recently proposed as a model for crumpled thin sheets. The networks are poised on the verge of a localized instability, and the model allows unique access to both local and global…
Random fiber networks form the structural foundation of numerous biological tissues and engineered materials. From a mechanics perspective, understanding the structure-function relationships of random fiber networks is particularly…
We study the creep rupture of bundles of viscoelastic fibers occurring under uniaxial constant tensile loading. A novel fiber bundle model is introduced which combines the viscoelastic constitutive behaviour and the strain controlled…
Uniform spherical beads were used to explore the behavior of a granular system near its critical angle of repose on a conical bead pile. We found two tuning parameters that could take the system to a critical point where a simple power-law…
Bundles of many fibers, with statistically distributed thresholds for breakdown of individual fibers and where the load carried by a bursting fiber is equally distributed among the surviving members, are considered. During the breakdown…
