Abstract

We present numerical simulations of two-dimensional models of electric breakdown and fracture in disordered systems subject to an increasing external stress. We provide a geometrical characterization of the damage by studying the scaling behavior of connected bonds clusters. The average cluster size and the lattice conductivity show features characteristic of a first order phase transition. The obtained results are discussed within the spinodal nucleation scenario recently proposed for fractures.
