The present work deals with the behavior of fiber bundle model under heterogeneous loading condition. The model is explored both in the mean-field limit as well as with local stress concentration. In the mean field limit, the failure abruptness decreases with increasing order k of heterogeneous loading. In this limit, a brittle to quasi-brittle transition is observed at a particular strength of disorder which changes with k. On the other hand, the model is hardly affected by such heterogeneity in the limit where local stress concentration plays a crucial role. The continuous limit of the heterogeneous loading is also studied and discussed in this paper. Some of the important results related to fiber bundle model are reviewed and their responses to our new scheme of heterogeneous loading are studied in details. Our findings are universal with respect to the nature of the threshold distribution adopted to assign strength to an individual fiber.

We investigate the fracture of heterogeneous materials occurring under unloading from an initial load. Based on a fiber bundle model of time dependent fracture, we show that depending on the unloading rate the system has two phases: for rapid unloadi ng the system suffers only partial failure and it has an infinite lifetime, while at slow unloading macroscopic failure occurs in a finite time. The transition between the two phases proved to be analogous to continuous phase transitions. Computer simulations revealed that during unloading the fracture proceeds in bursts of local breakings triggered by slowly accumulating damage. In both phases the time evolution starts with a relaxation of the bursting activity characterized by a universal power law decay of the burst rate. In the phase of finite lifetime the initial slowdown is followed by an acceleration towards macroscopic failure where the increasing rate of bursts obeys the (inverse) Omori law of earthquakes. We pointed out a strong correlation between the time where the event rate reaches a minimum value and of the lifetime of the system which allows for forecasting of the imminent catastrophic failure.
We present a study of the fiber bundle model using equal load sharing dynamics where the breaking thresholds of the fibers are drawn randomly from a power law distribution of the form $p(b)sim b^{-1}$ in the range $10^{-beta}$ to $10^{beta}$. Tuning the value of $beta$ continuously over a wide range, the critical behavior of the fiber bundle has been studied both analytically as well as numerically. Our results are: (i) The critical load $sigma_c(beta,N)$ for the bundle of size $N$ approaches its asymptotic value $sigma_c(beta)$ as $sigma_c(beta,N) = sigma_c(beta)+AN^{-1/ u(beta)}$ where $sigma_c(beta)$ has been obtained analytically as $sigma_c(beta) = 10^beta/(2beta eln10)$ for $beta geq beta_u = 1/(2ln10)$, and for $beta<beta_u$ the weakest fiber failure leads to the catastrophic breakdown of the entire fiber bundle, similar to brittle materials, leading to $sigma_c(beta) = 10^{-beta}$; (ii) the fraction of broken fibers right before the complete breakdown of the bundle has the form $1-1/(2beta ln10)$; (iii) the distribution $D(Delta)$ of the avalanches of size $Delta$ follows a power law $D(Delta)sim Delta^{-xi}$ with $xi = 5/2$ for $Delta gg Delta_c(beta)$ and $xi = 3/2$ for $Delta ll Delta_c(beta)$, where the crossover avalanche size $Delta_c(beta) = 2/(1-e10^{-2beta})^2$.

We investigate the size scaling of the macroscopic fracture strength of heterogeneous materials when microscopic disorder is controlled by fat-tailed distributions. We consider a fiber bundle model where the strength of single fibers is described by a power law distribution over a finite range. Tuning the amount of disorder by varying the power law exponent and the upper cutoff of fibers strength, in the limit of equal load sharing an astonishing size effect is revealed: For small system sizes the bundle strength increases with the number of fibers and the usual decreasing size effect of heterogeneous materials is only restored beyond a characteristic size. We show analytically that the extreme order statistics of fibers strength is responsible for this peculiar behavior. Analyzing the results of computer simulations we deduce a scaling form which describes the dependence of the macroscopic strength of fiber bundles on the parameters of microscopic disorder over the entire range of system sizes.

We investigate how the dimensionality of the embedding space affects the microscopic crackling dynamics and the macroscopic response of heterogeneous materials. Using a fiber bundle model with localized load sharing computer simulations are performed from 1 to 8 dimensions slowly increasing the external load up to failure. Analyzing the constitutive curve, fracture strength and avalanche statistics of bundles we demonstrate that a gradual crossover emerges from the universality class of localized behavior to the mean field class of fracture as the embedding dimension increases. The evolution between the two universality classes is described by an exponential functional form. Simulations revealed that the average temporal profile of crackling avalanches evolves with the dimensionality of the system from a strongly asymmetric shape to a symmetric parabola characteristic for localized stresses and homogeneous stress fields, respectively.
We review a new theory of viscoelasticity of a glass-forming viscous liquid near and below the glass transition. In our model we assume that each point in the material has a specific viscosity, which varies randomly in space according to a fluctuatin g activation free energy. We include a Maxwellian elastic term and assume that the corresponding shear modulus fluctuates as well with the same distribution as that of the activation barriers. The model is solved in coherent-potential approximation (CPA), for which a derivation is given. The theory predicts an Arrhenius-type temperature dependence of the viscosity in the vanishing-frequency limit, independent of the distribution of the activation barriers. The theory implies that this activation energy is generally different from that of a diffusing particle with the same barrier-height distribution. If the distribution of activation barriers is assumed to have Gaussian form, the finite-frequency version of the theory describes well the typical low-temperature alpha relaxation peak of glasses. Beta relaxation can be included by adding another Gaussian with center at much lower energies than that responsible for the alpha relaxation. At high frequencies our theory reduces to the description of an elastic medium with spatially fluctuating elastic moduli (heterogeneous elasticity theory), which explains the occurrence of the boson-peak-related vibrational anomalies of glasses.
