A three-dimensional hybrid finite element -- spectral boundary integral method for modeling earthquakes in complex unbounded domains
Gabriele Albertini, Ahmed Elbanna, David S. Kammer
We present a 3D hybrid method which combines the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Spectral Boundary Integral method (SBIM) to model nonlinear problems in unbounded domains. The…
Nucleation of frictional sliding by coalescence of microslip
Styfen Schär, Gabriele Albertini, David S. Kammer
The onset of frictional motion is mediated by the dynamic propagation of a rupture front, analogous to a shear crack. The rupture front nucleates quasi-statically in a localized re…
Stochastic Properties of Static Friction
Gabriele Albertini, Simon Karrer, Mircea D. Grigoriu +1
The onset of frictional motion is mediated by rupture-like slip fronts, which nucleate locally and propagate eventually along the entire interface causing global sliding. The stati…
Effective toughness of heterogeneous materials with rate-dependent fracture energy
Gabriele Albertini, Mathias Lebihain, François Hild +2
We investigate dynamic fracture of heterogeneous materials experimentally by measuring displacement fields as a rupture propagates through a periodic array of obstacles of controll…
Dynamic fields at the tip of sub-Rayleigh and supershear frictional rupture fronts
Ilya Svetlizky, Gabriele Albertini, Gil Cohen +2
The onset of frictional motion at the interface between two distinct bodies in contact is characterized by the propagation of dynamic rupture fronts. We combine friction experiment…
