Abstract
Fracture phenomena in disordered materials have attracted a lot of interest due to their intrinsic technological importance [1]. Examples of such materials are certain polymers, fiber reinforced materials, and fibrous compounds like paper. Typically, their mechanical response shows such behaviour as plasticity and a time-dependent phenomenon like viscoelasticity. From the physics point of view fracture of disordered materials involves a variety of processes occurring on a wide range of length and time scales. We have studied these processes with simplified models, that are capable of showing some salient features of materials under external loading. In these models we have included plasticity and viscoelasticity, which often have been omitted.
