Avalanche Size and Interevent Time Statistics in Amorphous System

Thomas Muhren, Roberto Benzi, Mauro Sbragaglia +2

The intermittent, stick-slip flow of amorphous systems is characterized by avalanches whose statistical properties display robust power-laws. In this paper, we study avalanche stat…

Full-waveform tomography reveals iron spin crossover in Earth lower mantle

Laura Cobden, Jingyi Zhuang, Wenjie Lei +3

Joint interpretation of bulk and shear wave speeds constrains the chemistry of the deep mantle. At all depths, the diversity of wave speeds cannot be explained by an isochemical ma…

Direct observations of causal links in plastic events validates statistical analysis tools for seismology

Pinaki Kumar, Roberto Benzi, Jeannot Trampert +1

Earthquakes are complex physical processes driven by the stick-slip motion of a sliding fault. After the main quake, a series of aftershocks typically follows. These are loosely de…

Self Similar Properties of Avalanche Statistics in a Simple Turbulent Model

Roberto Benzi, Ilaria Castaldi, Federico Toschi +1

In this paper, we consider a simplified model of turbulence for large Reynolds numbers driven by a constant power energy input on large scales. In the statistical stationary regime…

Interevent time distributions of avalanche dynamics

Pinaki Kumar, Evangelos Korkolis, Roberto Benzi +5

Physical systems characterized by stick-slip dynamics often display avalanches. Regardless of the diversity of their microscopic structure, these systems are governed by a power-la…

Earthquake statistics inferred from plastic events in soft-glassy materials

Roberto Benzi, Federico Toschi, Jeannot Trampert

We propose a new approach for generating synthetic earthquake catalogues based on the physics of soft glasses. The continuum approach produces yield-stress materials based on Latti…
