Abstract: We analyzed experiments designed for industrial applications in order to test the concept that in heterogeneous materials such as fiber composites concrete subjected to an external mechanical stress rupture is a genuine critical point. This prediction has been tested extensively on heterogeneous materials bases polymer from acoustic emission measurements. The investigating consists in simulating the two-dimensional model of a spring network. Also the bond percolation concept has been very helpful in the interpretation of the numerical results.
