Zhoufeng Shi is still having a problem:
Thanks Robert for explaining your answer in very detail.
Originally, I was thinking that by making bond strength distributed over a certain range, I could make some 'weaker' and 'stronger' bonds. therefore, during the simulation, some of this weaker bonds are tend to break more easily so that the crack development process may look more naturally. but yes you are definitely right, the distribution of sphere plays an extremely important role in the bond strength and change the bond strength could render a weak bond even stronger which ends up meaningless. I will do more investigation about their relationship. 
just another quick question to make it clear: if I wanna make the strength have a deviation like1±21%, then by changing the sphere radius distributed in 1±10% or to change the alpha to(0.79,1.21), will I get the same distribution range for the strength regardless of the distribution types?
