abstract = "Crack patterns show often apparent similarity to structures grown in diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA). The basis of this similarity is that the equations governing fracture can be considered in some cases as the vectorial versions of those describing DLA-type growth processes. During the last years experiments, computer simulations and theoretical investigations have led to a great deal of information about DLA and related (scalar) processes which may be of relevance for understanding crack patterns. The purpose of this lecture is to give a short introduction to these phenomena; for comprehensive treatment the reader is referred to extensive recent reviews.[1–5]",
