How heat controls fracture: the thermodynamics of creeping and avalanching cracks
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Stéphane Santucci +6
While of paramount importance in material science, the dynamics of cracks still lacks a complete physical explanation. The transition from their slow creep behavior to a fast propa…
Mechanical properties of drying plant roots: Evolution of the longitudinal Young's modulus of chick-pea roots with dessication
Christopher Vautrin, Pascal Kurowski, Patricia Genet +3
Mechanical characterizations of plant roots are of primary importance in geophysics and engineering science for implementing mechanical models for the stability of root reinforced-…
Aftershock sequences and seismic-like organization of acoustic events produced by a single propagating crack
Jonathan Barés, Alizée Dubois, Lamine Hattali +2
Brittle fractures of inhomogeneous materials like rocks, concrete, or ceramics are of two types: Nominally brittle and driven by the propagation of a single dominant crack or quasi…
