Conditions for abrupt failure in the democratic fiber bundle model
Abstract
We argue that the existence of abrupt failure in the democratic fiber bundle model is more general than concluded by da Silveira in his comment (cond-mat/9709327). We refute his claim that the nature of the rupture process in the DFBM depends on the ``disorder distribution only via its large failure strength behavior''.
