Abstract
Stochastic models for the development of cracks in 1D and 2D objects are presented. In one dimension, we focus on particular scenarios for interacting fragments (IF1) and non-interacting fragments (NIF1) during the breakup process. For 2D objects, we consider only NIF1, but analyze isotropic and anisotropic development of fissures. Analytical results are given for many observables. Power-law size distributions are predicted for some of the fragmentation pictures considered.
