Abstract

The strength of materials depends on their loading history. In brittle materials disorder and damage develop according to how various cracks evolve from the initial crack population. We study this issue in the context of the Random Fuse Model, and investigate how samples evolve and how the strength distribution and size-scaling are affected by the loading history. In the strongly brittle limit considered here, the crack populations present in the systems (two) are quite independent, but nevertheless there are important differences to the usually studied tensile uni-directional case.
