Quasi-brittle materials:

Materials that respond non-linearlydue to heterogeneities.

Concrete.

The struggle between force and disorder.

• Peirce (1926)• Daniels (1945)

Stiff clamps

Each fiber has same elasticconstant, but different maximum load at which it fails.

Stiff clamps: Equal Load Sharing FB Model

Aka: Democratic Fiber Bundle Model

The fiber bundle model

6

Fk = (N-k+1) xk

x

Average behavior fromorder statistics:

P(xk) = k/N

Fk/N = [1-P-1(xk)] xk

F/N = [1-P-1(x)]x

Flat distribution on the unit interval:P(x) = x

F/N = [1-x] x

F reaches its peak value at x=xc xc=1/2.

Signifies value at which k’th fiber fails.

7

Fluctuations vs. averages

Daniels and Skyrme (1989):

(xc)=N1/3 f[N1/3(xc-<xc>)]

Sample to sample distribution of maximum elongation xc.

xc = <(xc-<xc>)2>1/2 ~ N-1/3

Fluctuations in maximum elongation

8

Definition of Burst fibers fail before the force Fneeds to be increased to continue.

x

Burst of size .

9Analytical Expression for the Burst Distribution

Hemmer and Hansen (1992)

D(,xs)=- f((xc-xs))

f(y) approaches a constant for small y, and is proportional to exp(-y2) for large y.

Universal scaling exponents

Reminiscent of second order phasetransition.

Process is stopped at x = xs.

10

Uniform distribution

Weibull distribution

m = 5

xs = xc

11

Burst Distribution as a Signal of Imminent FailurePradhan, Hansen, Hemmer (2005)

Start recording bursts at x0 0.

Change in exponent when x0 is close to xc.

12

Uniform

Weibull

13

A single fiber bundle with N = 107, x0 = 0.9 xc:

Earthquakes

14

The Fuse Model

Thresholddistribution

Fuse burns out if voltagedifference across it exceedsthreshold value t.

15

•Strain Electrical potential•Stress Currents

Statistical distribution in thresholds, t.

Disorder:

Cracks:

Burned-out fuses

Other similar models:•Laplace: fuse model•Lamé: central-force model•Cosserat: beam model

•Disorder: Repulsionbetween cracks.

•Current distribution:Attraction between cracks.

Competition betweenDisorder and currentDistribution.

16

Fuse Model in Infinite-Disorder Limit.

Fuses blow in order of weakest, next weakest, … as long as they are not screened.

Screened percolation process

Remark: Homogenization: approach material from zero-disorder limit.Statistical physics: approach material from infinite-disorder limit.

(Roux et al., J. Stat. Phys. 1988, Moreira et al., PRL, 2012)

17

What is needed to reach the infinite-disorder limit?

Random number

Threshold value

Disorder parameter:

How big must be for thedisorder to dominate?

18

Cumulative distribution:

Order statistics:

19

Must compare threshold ratio to largest current ratio in network ~2 :

100X100 lattice:

-value for the disorder to dominate completely.

20

= 0.01

= 1

= 100

(Moreira et al. 2012)

32X32: > 700

21

Scaling in the infinite-disorder limit:

This value shows up in many connections…

22

Strong and weak disorder in the fuse model:

* ~ L0.9

Mf: mass of final crack

Mb: mass of backbone

23

Scale-invariant disorder

(Hansen et al. 1991)

Current distribution is scale free:

Histogram

Growing correlation length

i ~ (L/)

N ~ (L/)2 f

24

Intensive (scale free variables):

Intensive time:

Intensive histogram:

Intensive currents:

f- formalism(multifractals)

No L dependence: Scale invariance

25

Threshold distribution in intensive variables

Threshold distribution

Threshold values

Threshold distribution

Independent of L

26

No spatial correlations in threshold distribution:

As L , the distribution takes on the form

This corresponds to two power law tails

= 0 for t 0 = -for t

Only the powerlaw tails survive as L

27

Localization: Soft-clamp fiber bundle model

Order in which bonds fail:

• Lighter: earlier• Darker: later(Batrouni et al. 2002)

29

e = E/L = 32

e = 0.0781

e = 2-6

e = 2-17

L= 128

xc = <(xc-<xc>)2>1/2 ~ N-1/3

(Daniels and Skyrme, 1989)

Wc ~L-2/3

Not an inversecorrelation lengthexponent!

33

There is no phase transition

Slope remainsfinite: crossover-Not a phasetransition

34

Scenario: Equal load sharing fiber bundle model until localization sets in.

System is never brittleJust percolation untillocalization sets in.

Critical pc notrelated to percolation threshold.

35

Constrained crack growth: roughness.

(Santucci et al. 2010)

36

From Tallakstad et al. 2011

37

Two roughness exponents

Santucci et al. 2010

38

Intermezzo: gradient percolation

(Hansen et al. 2007)

39

Wavelet analysis of percolation front

Roughness exponent = 2/3

Removing overhangsk 0

Roughness exponent

Gradient percolation: = 2/3

41

Soft clamp model: two in one(Gjerden et al., 2012)

Stiff Soft

42

Scale invariant elastic constant:

e = Ea/L

Small E is equivalent to large L.

43

Soft system:roughness exponent = 0.39.

Large scales

44

Stiff system:roughness exponent = 2/3.

Small scales

Two roughness regimes:

Small scale: = 0.67 – percolation!Large scale: = 0.39 – fluctuating line.
