Rigid-body-spring networks are used to model brittle fracture in homogeneous, isotropic materials. Discretization is based on Voronoi diagrams with random geometry. Methods are given for ensuring elastic uniformity and maximizing the degree of isotropy with respect to potential crack direction. A method for rendering ordinary beam-spring networks elastically uniform is also given. Model abilities...
