Desiccation cracks on different substrates: simulation by a spring network model

Crack patterns formed due to desiccation of clay or similar materials show distinctive reproducible patterns. If one measures the cumulative area Acum covered by the cracks with widths > =Wmin, then Acum plotted against Wmin shows a typical reproducible shape. In a log-log plot, this curve has tw...
