We model the failure of inhomogeneous surface layers under expansion. The quenched disorder is accounted for by a probability distribution (PD) of local breakdown strengths. The ensuing crack patterns range from percolation-like defect aggregates to well-defined polygons. Since no load sharing...

In the present work a fiber bundle model with slowly relaxing fibers and a continuous range of interaction rule is presented. The elements of the model are linearly elastic until they break, but after breaking they undergo a slow relaxation process, giving rise to time-dependent local load on...
