Avalanches in breakdown and fracture processes
We investigate the breakdown of disordered networks under the action of an increasing external-mechanical or electrical-force. We perform a mean-field analysis and estimate scaling exponents for the approach to the instability. By simulating two-dimensional models of electric breakdown and fracture...
