We find that the lifetime of the material exhibits a crossover from mean field to short range behavior as in the static case. Numerical calculations showed that the value at which the transition takes place depends on the system's disorder. Finally, we have performed a microscopic analysis of the failure process. Our results confirm that the growth dynamics of the largest crack is radically different in the two limiting regimes of load transfer during the first stages of breaking.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-10-05T14:56:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "time evolution", "load transfer", "variable ranges", "adjustable stress transfer function", "short range behavior" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
