Abstract
We consider a random fuse or random fragile element model. We show that, in the limit of infinite disorder in the bond-breaking thresholds, the rupture of a lattice is a “disguised” percolation process. Therefore, just before the final overall rupture of the lattice, we obtain scaling relations of various physical properties as a function of the number of bonds broken.
