The main objective is to clarify how mechanical properties and fracture are affected by the toughness ratio between cell walls and matrix. Cell microstructures are generated using an approach combining the discrete element method to define a spatial distribution of sites (particle centers) and a Voronoi-Laguerre tessellation built on these sites to generate the cell topology. A parametric study is then carried out by varying the toughness ratio β by a factor of five, with ten repetitions per β value. The modulus of elasticity evolves as a power-law function of β. Stress distributions and maps show that stress concentrations are strongly influenced by pore distribution and only weakly by β. An important point was to highlight the dependence of fracture regimes on the β parameter, with a value of β≃3 separating a regime where the fracture passes through the walls and a regime where it bypasses the cells and remains confined within the cohesive matrix, as has been observed in the literature.</p>","PeriodicalId":48698,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review E","volume":"111 5-2","pages":"055507"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144327430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the analysis is extended to incorporate finite-rate quenches, characterized by a nonzero quench duration σ. The results indicate that a genuine Mpemba effect is absent under finite-rate quenches if both samples experience the same thermal environment during the quenching process. However, if σ remains sufficiently small, the deviations in the thermal environment stay within an acceptable range, allowing the Mpemba effect to persist with a slightly enhanced magnitude. In contrast, the Kovacs effect is significantly amplified, with the transient hump in the temperature evolution becoming more pronounced as both the waiting time and σ increase.
