โœฆ Synopsis

The brittle fracture of solids subject to extreme differential stress is assumed to be a consequence of the sequential fusion of smaller cracks into larger ones. Renormalization methods quantitatively describe the dynamics of the cascade of fusion events that culminates in failure, including the observed time-to-failure versus stress scaling law.

The quasistatic development of a system of cracks is investigated by writing the fracture criteria as variational inequalities, which enable the extension of (:he crack to be followed as a function of the time-like loading parameter. The interaction of cracks and their stability or avalanche-like gr
