Abstract
Fracture due to coalescence of microcracks seems to be catalogued in a new model of evolution induced catastrophe (EIC). The key underlying mechanism of the EIC is its automatically enlarging interaction of mic rocracks. This leads to an explosively evolving catastrophe. Most impo rtantly, the EIC presents a fractal dimension spectrum which appears t o be dependent on the interaction.
