We derive here a linear elastic stochastic description for slow crack growth in heterogeneous materials. This approach succeeds in reproducing quantitatively the intermittent crackling dynamics observed recently during the slow propagation of a crack along a weak heterogeneous plane of a transparent Plexiglas block [K.J. Maloy et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 045501 (2006)]. In this description, the quasistatic failure of heterogeneous media appears as a self-organized critical phase transition. As such, it exhibits universal and to some extent predictable scaling laws, analogous to that of other systems such as, for example, magnetization noise in ferromagnets.
