Collisional Statistics and Dynamics of 2D Hard-Disk Systems: From Fluid to Solid

Alessandro Taloni, Yasmine Meroz, Adrián Huerta

We perform extensive MD simulations of two-dimensional systems of hard disks, focusing on the \emph{on}-collision statistical properties. We analyze the distribution functions of v…

Crossover behavior in interface depinning

Y. J. Chen, Stefano Zapperi, James P. Sethna

We study the crossover scaling behavior of the height-height correlation function in interface depinning in random media. We analyze experimental data from a fracture experiment an…

Damage accumulation in quasi-brittle fracture

Claudio Manzato, Mikko J. Alava, Stefano Zapperi

The strength of quasi-brittle materials depends on the ensemble of defects inside the sample and on the way damage accumulates before failure. Using large scale numerical simulatio…

Universality classes and crossover scaling of Barkhausen noise in thin films

Lasse Laurson, Gianfranco Durin, Stefano Zapperi

We study the dynamics of head-to-head domain walls separating in-plane domains in a disordered ferromagnetic thin film. The competition between the domain wall surface tension and…

Quasi-periodic events in crystal plasticity and the self-organized avalanche oscillator

Stefanos Papanikolaou, Dennis M. Dimiduk, Woosong Choi +4

When external stresses in a system - physical, social or virtual - are relieved through impulsive events, it is natural to focus on the attributes of these avalanches. However, dur…

Stationary growth and unique invariant harmonic measure of cylindrical DLA

Riccardo Marchetti, Alessandro Taloni, Emanuele Caglioti +2

We prove that the harmonic measure is stationary, unique and invariant on the interface of DLA growing on a cylinder surface. We provide a detailed theoretical analysis puzzling to…

From damage percolation to crack nucleation through finite size criticality

Ashivni Shekhawat, Stefano Zapperi, James P. Sethna

We present a unified theory of fracture in disordered brittle media that reconciles apparently conflicting results reported in the literature. Our renormalization group based appro…

Avalanche Spatial Structure and Multivariable Scaling Functions; Sizes, Heights, Widths, and Views through Windows

Yan-Jiun Chen, Stefanos Papanikolaou, James P. Sethna +2

We introduce a systematic method for extracting multivariable universal scaling functions and critical exponents from data. We exemplify our insights by analyzing simulations of av…

Fracture strength of disordered media: Universality, interactions and tail asymptotics

Claudio Manzato, Ashivni Shekhawat, Phani K. V. V. Nukala +3

We study the asymptotic properties of fracture strength distributions of disordered elastic media by a combination of renormalization group, extreme value theory, and numerical sim…

Avalanches and clusters in planar crack front propagation

Lasse Laurson, Stephane Santucci, Stefano Zapperi

We study avalanches in a model for a planar crack propagating in a disordered medium. Due to long-range interactions, avalanches are formed by a set of spatially disconnected local…
