Dynamic scaling for crack growth in a medium containing many initial defects

The dynamics of the crack growth process in a medium containing many initial defects is investigated through the time-dependent cluster size distribution function using Monte Carlo simulations and scaling theory. Each initial defect in a medium is assumed to have two crack tips like the Griffith crack. The effect of anisotropy of a medium on crack growth patterns is also studied.
