In this model the load of a broken fiber is shifted in equal portions onto the nearest unbroken fibers. The force-displacement diagram is obtained for several traction velocities v and temperatures t. Also, it is shown how the fracture toughness $K_c$ changes with the traction velocity v and with the temperature t. In this paper it is shown that the rupture process is strongly dependent on temperature t and on velocity v.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-01-22T15:23:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fracture toughness", "fibrous material", "traction velocity", "rupture process", "temperature" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
