The spatial correlation during a failure event of a one-dimensional fiber bundle model is studied when three main parameters guiding the dynamics of the model is tuned: the fluctuation of local strength ($beta$), range of stress relaxation ($gamma$), and size of the bundle ($L$). Both increasing disorder strength and stress release range favor rupture events, random in space like percolation. An increase in system size on the other hand nucleating failure. At an intermediate disorder strength and stress release range, when these two parameters compete, the failure process shows avalanches and precursor activities. A complex phase diagram on the $beta-gamma-L$ plane is presented showing different failure modes - nucleation, avalanche, and percolation, depending on the spatial correlation observed during the failure process.

A phase diagram for a one dimensional fiber bundle model is constructed with a continuous variation in two parameters guiding dynamics of the model: strength of disorder and system size. We monitor the successive events of fiber rupture in order to u
nderstand the spatial correlation associated with it. We observe three distinct regions with increasing disorder strength. (I) Nucleation - a crack propagates from a particular nucleus with very high spatial correlation and causes global failure; (II) Avalanche - the rupture events show precursors activities with a number of bursts. (III) Percolation - the rupture events are spatially uncorrelated like a percolation process. As the size of the bundle is increased, it favors the nucleating failure. In the thermodynamic limit, we only observe a nucleating failure unless the disorder strength is infinitely high.
The ranges of transmission of the mobiles in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network are not uniform in reality. They are affected by the temperature fluctuation in air, obstruction due to the solid objects, even the humidity difference in the environment, etc. How
the varying range of transmission of the individual active elements affects the global connectivity in the network may be an important practical question to ask. Here a new model of percolation phenomena, with an additional source of disorder, has been introduced for a theoretical understanding of this problem. As in ordinary percolation, sites of a square lattice are occupied randomly with the probability $p$. Each occupied site is then assigned a circular disc of random value $R$ for its radius. A bond is defined to be occupied if and only if the radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ of the discs centered at the ends satisfy certain pre-defined condition. In a very general formulation, one divides the $R_1 - R_2$ plane into two regions by an arbitrary closed curve. One defines that a point within one region represents an occupied bond, otherwise it is a vacant bond. Study of three different rules under this general formulation, indicates that the percolation threshold is always larger and varies continuously. This threshold has two limiting values, one is $p_c$(sq), the percolation threshold for the ordinary site percolation on the square lattice and the other being unity. The variation of the thresholds are characterized by exponents, which are not known in the literature. In a special case, all lattice sites are occupied by discs of random radii $R in {0,R_0}$ and a percolation transition is observed with $R_0$ as the control variable, similar to the site occupation probability.
We study the dynamical aspects of a statistical-mechanical model for fracture of heterogeneous media: the fiber bundle model with various interaction range. Although the model does not include any thermal activation process, the system exhibits creep
-like behaviors under a constant load being slightly above the critical value. These creep-like behaviors comprise three stages: in the primary and tertiary stages, the strain rate exhibits power-law behaviors with time, which are well described by the Omori-Utsu and the inverse Omori laws, respectively, although the exponents are larger than those typically observed in experiments. A characteristic time that defines the onset of power-law behavior in the Omori-Utsu law is found to decrease with the strength of disorder in the system. The analytical solution, which agrees with the above numerical results, is obtained for the mean-field limit. Beyond the mean-field limit, the exponent for the Omori-Utsu law tends to be even larger but decreases with the disorder in the system. Increasing the spatial range of interactions, this exponent is found to be independent of disorder and to converge to the mean-field value. In contrast, the inverse Omori law remains independent of the spatial range of interaction and the disorder strength.
The main purpose of this work is to simulate two-phase flow in the form of immiscible displacement through anisotropic, three-dimensional (3D) discrete fracture networks (DFN). The considered DFNs are artificially generated, based on a general distri
bution function or are conditioned on measured data from deep geological investigations. We introduce several modifications to the invasion percolation (MIP) to incorporate fracture inclinations, intersection lines, as well as the hydraulic path length inside the fractures. Additionally a trapping algorithm is implemented that forbids any advance of the invading fluid into a region, where the defending fluid is completely encircled by the invader and has no escape route. We study invasion, saturation, and flow through artificial fracture networks, with varying anisotropy and size and finally compare our findings to well studied, conditioned fracture networks.
A simple one-dimensional microscopic model of the depinning transition of an interface from an attractive hard wall is introduced and investigated. Upon varying a control parameter, the critical behaviour observed along the transition line changes fr
om a directed-percolation to a multiplicative-noise type. Numerical simulations allow for a quantitative study of the multicritical point separating the two regions, Mean-field arguments and the mapping on a yet simpler model provide some further insight on the overall scenario.
