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…
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…
