Line creep in paper peeling
Jari Rosti, Juha Koivisto, Paola Traversa +3
The dynamics of a "peeling front" or an elastic line is studied under creep (constant load) conditions. Our experiments show an exponential dependence of the creep velocity on the…
Evolution of seismic signals and slip patterns along subduction zones: insights from a friction lab scale experiment
Christophe Voisin, Jean-Robert Grasso, Eric Larose +1
Continuous GPS and broadband seismic monitoring have revealed a variety of disparate slip patterns especially in shallow dipping subduction zones, among which regular earthquakes,…
Long Term Friction: from Stick-Slip to Stable Sliding
Christophe Voisin, Francois Renard, Jean-Robert Grasso
We have devised an original laboratory experiment where we investigate the frictional behaviour of a single crystal salt slider over a large number of deformation cycles. Because o…
A Two-Threshold Model for Scaling Laws of Non-Interacting Snow Avalanches
Jerome Faillettaz, Francois Louchet, Jean-Robert Grasso
The sizes of snow slab failure that trigger snow avalanches are power-law distributed. Such a power-law probability distribution function has also been proposed to characterize dif…
Predictability of Volcano Eruption: lessons from a basaltic effusive volcano
J. -R. Grasso, I. Zaliapin
Volcano eruption forecast remains a challenging and controversial problem despite the fact that data from volcano monitoring significantly increased in quantity and quality during…
Towards Landslide Predictions: Two Case Studies
D. Sornette, A. Helmstetter, J. V. Andersen +3
In a previous work [Helmstetter, 2003], we have proposed a simple physical model to explain the accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides, based on a slider…
