Abstract

We present numerical simulations for the fracture of the three dimensional random fuse model. The damage accumulated prior to fracture follows a Gaussian distribution, suggesting the absence of long-range correlations. The strength distribution is found to be Lognormal with a logarithmic size effect for the average strength. We relate this result with the distribution of damage clusters
