Fluctuations and scaling in creep deformation

Abstract

The spatial fluctuations of deformation are studied in creep in the Andrade's power-law and the logarithmic phases, using paper samples. Measurements by the Digital Image Correlation technique show that the relative strength of the strain rate fluctuations increases with time, in both creep regimes. In the Andrade creep phase characterized by a power law decay of the strain rate ${\epsilon }_t\sim t^{-\theta }$, with $\theta \approx 0.7$, the fluctuations obey $\Delta {\epsilon }_t\sim t^{-\gamma }$, with $\gamma \approx 0.5$. The local deformation follows a data collapse appropriate for an absorbing state/depinning transition. Similar behavior is found in a crystal plasticity model, with a jamming or yielding phase transition.
