A randomized spring-network model is proposed to simulate crack patterns in drying aqueous solution of Laponite in the presence of a radial inhomogeneous direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electric field. The simulation model produces realistic radial and cross-radial cracks in DC field for the two cases: centre positive and centre negative, respectively. Having validated the model for...
