Onset of sliding across scales: How the contact topography impacts frictional strength
Fabian Barras, Ramin Aghababaei, Jean-François Molinari
When two solids start rubbing together, frictional sliding initiates in the wake of slip fronts propagating along their surfaces in contact. This macroscopic rupture dynamics can b…
Finite element modeling of dynamic frictional rupture with rate and state friction
Roozbeh Rezakhani, Fabian Barras, Michael Brun +1
Numerous laboratory experiments have demonstrated the dependence of the friction coefficient on the interfacial slip rate and the contact history, a behavior generically called rat…
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…
