We discuss the cooperative failure dynamics in the fiber bundle model where the individual
elements or fibers are Hookean springs that have identical spring constants but different …

Sudden and rapid mass movements associated with landslides and snow avalanches
present a hazard to life and infrastructure, yet their predictions and triggering mechanisms …

We present a detailed analytical and numerical study of the avalanche distributions of the
continuous damage fiber bundle model (CDFBM). Linearly elastic fibers undergo a series of …

Based on a fiber bundle model of subcritical fracture with localized load sharing, we show
that the interplay of threshold disorder and the inhomogeneous stress field gives rise to a …

We investigate the failure process of fiber bundles with structural disorder represented by
the random misalignment of fibers. The strength of fibers is assumed to be constant so that …

I adapted a model recently introduced in the context of seismic phenomena to study creep
rupture of materials. It consists of linear elastic fibers that interact in an equal load sharing …

We study the damage enhanced creep rupture of disordered materials by means of a fiber
bundle model. Broken fibers undergo a slow stress relaxation modeled by a Maxwell …

This paper questions the mode of collapse of some simple softening nonlocal structural
systems comprising the classical cantilever beam. Nanobeams can be concerned by such …

We focus on a system consisting of an elastic part and a damageable part in series, to study
the relaxation creep rupture of a heterogeneous system subjected to a uniaxial constant …

We present a detailed statistical analysis of the size and temporal occurrence of burst
sequences in the creep rupture of a proposed linear viscoelastic fiber bundle model …
