Abstract
The static fracture properties of disordered brittle solids, having ordered crystalline structure and a random distribution of flaws (broken bonds), are studied here from a microscopic point of view. In the weak disorder limit, starting from McClintock's description, we have obtained the empirical Weibull formula for the average fracture strength σc , giving all its fitting parameters. The result of a molecular dynamic simulation of fracture in a square Lennard-Jones system, containing 400 atoms and randomly broken bonds, are found to compare very well with the theory.
