Effect of disorder on maximum stress along loading z-direction: The maximum stress of samples of Lx = 8 μm, Ly = 0.5 mm, and Lz = 1.0 mm where D = 2.995 as a function of the average strain with respect to RG where (a) has a RG = 0.0, (b) has a RG = 0.1, (c) has a RG = 0.2, and (d) has a RG = 0.4. Naturally, there is observed stochasticity due to the fact that maximum stress reflects the disorder distribution (Alava et al. 2009). The figure legends signify the notch width W that varies from 0.25 to 128 μm
