Fluctuation-based fracture mechanics of heterogeneous materials

We present results of a hybrid analytical-simulation investigation of the fracture resistance of heterogeneous materials. We show that bond-energy fluctuations sampled by Monte Carlo simulations in the semigrand canonical ensemble provide a means to rationalize the complexity of heterogeneous fractu...
