From: Avalanche precursors of failure in hierarchical fuse networks
Hierarchical fuse network variants. Top: Structure of regular and randomized RFN, n = 4: regular D-HFN, S-RFN with random permutation of both columns and rows, R-HFN with randomly rotated rows, R-RFN reference random fuse model with randomly placed cross-links; Bottom: size statistics of load-perpendicular cross-links and load-parallel “gaps” for the different network variants, using logarithmic binning into bins of size 2m. Data in the plot is for systems with n = 9, except where explicitly noted. The plot is accompanied by a graphical representation of links and gaps in a S-HFN with n = 4 and with periodic boundary conditions along the load-perpendicular direction.
