A statistical model of fracture for a 2D hexagonal mesh: the Cell Network Model of Fracture for the bamboo Guadua angustifolia
Miércoles 29 de Octubre 2014
A 2D, hexagonal in geometry, statistical model of fracture is proposed. The model is based on the drying fracture process of the bamboo Guadua angustifolia. A network of flexible cells are joined by brittle junctures of fixed Young moduli that break at a certain thresholds in tensile force. The system is solved by means of the Finite Element Method (FEM). The distribution of avalanche breakings exhibits a power law with exponent− 2.93 (9), in agreement with the random fuse model (Bhattacharyya and Chakrabarti, 2006)[1].
