Spatiotemporal dynamics of frictional systems: The interplay of interfacial friction and bulk elasticity
Yohai Bar-Sinai, Michael Aldam, Robert Spatschek +2
Frictional interfaces are abundant in natural and engineering systems, and predicting their behavior still poses challenges of prime scientific and technological importance. At the…
The emergence of crack-like behavior of frictional rupture: Edge singularity and energy balance
Fabian Barras, Michael Aldam, Thibault Roch +3
The failure of frictional interfaces -- the process of frictional rupture -- is widely assumed to feature crack-like properties, with far-reaching implications for various discipli…
The emergence of crack-like behavior of frictional rupture: The origin of stress drops
Fabian Barras, Michael Aldam, Thibault Roch +3
The process of frictional rupture, i.e. the failure of frictional systems, abounds in the technological and natural world around us, ranging from squealing car brake pads to earthq…
Unstable slip pulses and earthquake nucleation as a non-equilibrium first-order phase transition
Efim A. Brener, Michael Aldam, Fabian Barras +2
The onset of rapid slip along initially quiescent frictional interfaces, the process of `earthquake nucleation', and dissipative spatiotemporal slippage dynamics play important rol…
Critical nucleation length for accelerating frictional slip
Michael Aldam, Marc Weikamp, Robert Spatschek +2
The spontaneous nucleation of accelerating slip along slowly driven frictional interfaces is central to a broad range of geophysical, physical and engineering systems, with particu…
Frictional sliding without geometrical reflection symmetry
Michael Aldam, Yohai Bar-Sinai, Ilya Svetlizky +3
The dynamics of frictional interfaces play an important role in many physical systems spanning a broad range of scales. It is well-known that frictional interfaces separating two d…
