One of the major factors governing the mode of failure in disordered solidsis the effective range $R$, over which the stress field is modified following alocal rupture event. In random fiber bundle model, considered as a prototype ofdisordered solids, we show that the failure mode is nucleation dominated in thelarge system size limit, as long as $R$ scales slower than $L^{\zeta}$, with$\zeta=2/3$. For a faster increase in $R$, the failure properties are dominatedby the mean-field critical point, where the damages are uncorrelated in space.In that limit, the precursory avalanches of all sizes are obtained even in thelarge system size limit. We expect these results to be valid for systems withfinite (normalizable) disorder.
