Abstract

A statistical method is proposed for the description of the fracture pro::ess in homogeneous isotropic media. In particular, the macroscopic defects formation into a medium due to the application of an external load is studied. The instability connected with the structural transition from these multimacroscopic defects to the final rupture of the body is also discussed. To this purpose, the Volterra logistic growth law is used. The statistical interpretation of the rupture catastrophic phenomenon includes the justification of the characteristic "silent time" (which has been observed to occur in some time intervals prior to the fracture), as an indicator of the above-mentioned structural transition.
