Equal Load Sharing · Fracture Avalanches · Power Law Distribution
Load: 0 | Intact: 0 | Last avalanche: 0
N fibers share load equally. Each fiber breaks when stress exceeds its threshold (drawn from chosen distribution).
Breaking redistributes load → cascades. At critical load F_c, avalanche size D ~ s−5/2 (mean-field).
System fails completely via a catastrophic avalanche — precursor statistics reveal proximity to failure.
