Thermally activated intermittent dynamics of creeping crack fronts along disordered interfaces
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Alain Cochard, Stéphane Santucci +2
We present a subcritical fracture growth model, coupled with the elastic redistribution of the acting mechanical stress along rugous rupture fronts. We show the ability of this mod…
Thermal dissipation as both the strength and weakness of matter. A material failure prediction by monitoring creep
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Alain Cochard +2
In any domain involving some stressed solids, that is, from seismology to general engineering, the strength of matter is a paramount feature to understand. We here discuss the abil…
How heat controls fracture: the thermodynamics of creeping and avalanching cracks
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Stéphane Santucci +6
While of paramount importance in material science, the dynamics of cracks still lacks a complete physical explanation. The transition from their slow creep behavior to a fast propa…
Thermal weakening of cracks and brittle-ductile transition: a phase model
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Alain Cochard +2
We present a model for the thermally activated propagation of cracks in elastic matrices. The propagation is considered as a subcritical phenomenon, the kinetics of which being des…
Stabilization of frictional sliding by normal load modulation: A bifurcation analysis
A. Cochard, L. Bureau, T. Baumberger
This paper presents the stability analysis of a system sliding at low velocities (m.s) under a periodically modulated normal load, preserving interfacial contact. E…
