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…
