Fiber Bundle Model

We study the local load sharing fiber bundle model and its energy burst statistics. While it is known that the avalanche size distribution of the model is exponential, we numerically show here that the avalanche size (s) and the corresponding average energy burst (〈E〉) in this version of the model have a non-linear relation (〈E〉 ~ sγ). Numerical results indicate that γ ≈ 2.5 universally for different failure threshold distributions. With this numerical observation, it is then possible to show that the energy burst distribution is a power law, with a universal exponent value of −(γ + 1).

The Mean

We study a random fiber bundle model with tips of the fibers placed on a graph having co-ordination number 3. These fibers follow local load sharing with uniformly distributed threshold strengths of the fibers. We have studied the critical behavior of the model numerically using a finite size scaling method and the mean field critical behavior is established. The avalanche size distribution is also found to exhibit a mean field nature in the asymptotic limit.

Fiber Bundle Model

PurposeThe fibers are loaded by the cosine component of the external load, when a fiber fails, and due to the local load-sharing nature, its force is shared by surviving neighboring fibers. The results show that the system presents a greater resistance and toughness toward the applied load compared to the classical one.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the authors adopt the dynamics of a local load-sharing fiber bundle model in two dimensions under an external load to study scaling law in failure process of composite materials with randomly oriented fibers. The model is based on the fiber bundle model where the fibers are randomly oriented. The system is different to the classical one where the fibers are arranged in parallel with the applied load direction.FindingsThe evolution time of the fraction of broken fiber is described by an exponential law with two characteristic times. The latter decrease linearly and exponentially respectively with both applied load and temperature.Originality/valueScaling behavior of the broken fiber numbers with the size system shows that the system exhibits a scaling law of Family–Vicsek model with universal exponents.

A Chain

A fiber bundle is a parallel arrangement of fibers. Under a steady tensile load, fibers fail randomly in time in a manner that depends on how they share the applied load. The bundle fails when all its fibers have failed in a specified region.In this paper we consider the fatigue failure of such a bundle in a fiber load-sharing setting appropriate for composite materials, that is, to bundles impregnated with a flexible matrix. The bundle is actually modelled as a chain of short bundles, and local load sharing is assumed for the fibers within each short bundle. The chain of bundles fails once all the fibers in one of the short bundles have failed.Reasonable assumptions are made on the stochastic failure of individual fibers. A general framework for describing fiber bundles is developed and is used to derive the limiting distribution of the time to the first appearance of a set ofkor more adjacent failed fibers as the number of fibers in the bundle grows large. These results provide useful bounds on the distribution of the time to total bundle failure. Some implications and extensions of these results are discussed.

The Individual

A bundle of many parallel fibers, with stochastically distributed thresholds for individual fibers, is loaded until complete failure. Equal load sharing is assumed. During the breakdown process, bursts of several fibers breaking simultaneously at a given load occur. We determine the expected number of such bursts before complete failure, as well as the frequency of bursts in which Δ fibers break simultaneously. This distribution follows asymptotically a universal power-law Δ−5/2, for any statistical distribution of the individual fiber strengths.
