Failure of topologically interlocked structures -- a Level-Set-DEM approach
Shai Feldfogel, Konstantinos Karapiperis, Jose Andrade +1
Topological Interlocking Structures (TIS) are assemblies of interlocking building blocks that hold together solely through contact and friction at the blocks' interfaces, and thus…
A discretization-convergent Level-Set-DEM
Shai Feldfogel, Konstantinos Karapiperis, Jose Andrade +1
The recently developed level-set-DEM is able to seamlessly handle arbitrarily shaped grains and their contacts through a discrete level-set representation of grains' volume and a n…
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…
Unstable cracks trigger asymptotic rupture modes in bimaterial friction
H. Shlomai, D. S. Kammer, M. Adda-Bedia +2
The rupture of the interface joining two materials under frictional contact controls their macroscopic sliding. Interface rupture dynamics depend markedly on the mechanical propert…
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…
