We investigate how the interplay of the topology of the network of load transmitting connections and the amount of disorder of the strength of the connected elements determines the temporal evolution of failure cascades driven by the redistribution of load following local failure events. We use the fiber bundle model of materials’ breakdown assigning fibers to the sites of a square lattice, which is then randomly rewired using the Watts–Strogatz technique. Gradually increasing the rewiring probability, we demonstrate that the bundle undergoes a transition from the localized to the mean field universality class of breakdown phenomena. Computer simulations revealed that both the size and the duration of failure cascades are power law distributed on all network topologies with a crossover between two regimes of different exponents. The temporal evolution of cascades is described by a parabolic profile with a right handed asymmetry, which implies that cascades start slowly, then accelerate, and eventually stop suddenly. The degree of asymmetry proved to be characteristic of the network topology gradually decreasing with increasing rewiring probability. Reducing the variance of fibers’ strength, the exponents of the size and the duration distribution of cascades increase in the localized regime of the failure process, while the localized to mean field transition becomes more abrupt. The consistency of the results is supported by a scaling analysis relating the characteristic exponents of the statistics and dynamics of cascades.
