Local dynamics of a randomly pinned crack front during creep and forced propagation: An experimental study
Ken Tore Tallakstad, Renaud Toussaint, Stéphane Santucci +2
We have studied the propagation of a crack front along the heterogeneous weak plane of a transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) block using two different loading conditions:…
Self-Affinity in the Gradient Percolation Problem
Alex Hansen, G. George Batrouni, Thomas Ramstad +1
We study the scaling properties of the solid-on-solid front of the infinite cluster in two-dimensional gradient percolation. We show that such an object is self affine with a Hurst…
Growth activity during fingering in a porous Hele Shaw cell
Grunde Lovoll, Yves Meheust, Renaud Toussaint +2
We present in this paper an experimental study of the invasion activity during unstable drainage in a 2D random porous medium, when the (wetting) displaced fluid has a high viscosi…
Roughness of stylolites: a stress-induced instability with non local interactions
J. Schmittbuhl, F. Renard, J. P. Gratier
We study the roughness of stylolite surfaces (i.e. natural pressure-dissolution surfaces in sedimentary rocks) from profiler measurements at laboratory scales. The roughness is sho…
