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…
Modeling friction: From nanoscale to mesoscale
Andrea Vanossi, Nicola Manini, Michael Urbakh +2
The physics of sliding friction is gaining impulse from nanoscale and mesoscale experiments, simulations, and theoretical modeling. This Colloquium reviews some recent developments…
Barkhausen instabilities from labyrinthine magnetic domains
Andrea Benassi, Stefano Zapperi
Experimental investigations of the scaling behavior of Barkhausen avalanches in out-of-plane ferromagnetic films yield widely different results for the values of the critical expon…
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…
Dynamic instability of a growing adsorbed polymorphic filament
Stefano Zapperi, L. Mahadevan
The intermittent transition between slow growth and rapid shrinkage in polymeric assemblies is termed dynamic instability, a feature observed in a variety of biochemically distinct…
