Abstract
A probabilistic method for solving time-dependent load-transfer models of fracture is developed. It is applicable to any rule of load redistribution, i.e., local, hierarchical, etc. In the new method, the fluctuations are generated during the breaking process (annealed randomness) while in the usual method, the random lifetimes are fixed at the beginning (quenched disorder). Both approaches are equivalent.

A stochastic fracture model of N ordered elements with one-sided local transfer of load with probability of total collapse calculated as a function of the applied load finds that, in the limit of large N, the global strength of the set is proportional to (logN) -1 .
