We find that equilibrium approaches are not applicable to the description of damage and the catastrophic failure mechanism if the stress transfer is short ranged. In the long-range limit, equilibrium methods apply only if the healing mechanism associated with ruptured elements is instantaneous. Furthermore we find that the nature of the catastrophic failure depends strongly on the stress transfer range. Long-range transfer systems have a failure mechanism that resembles nucleation. In short-range stress transfer systems, the catastrophic failure is a continuous process that, in some respects, resembles a critical point.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
