From: Tuning load redistribution and damage near heterogeneous interfaces
Simulation details. (a) Probability density functions of the failure thresholds used in this work. High heterogeneity: \(k=1.5\) (dash-dotted lines). Low heterogeneity: \(k=4\) (solid lines). Distributions with average \(\bar{t}=10\) (blue lines) describe situations where cohesive forces are much larger than adhesive forces. (b) Typical stress-strain curve under displacement control (thick black line), constructed by enveloping the stress-strain curve obtained from a quasi-static simulation (thin blue line).
