A steady-state frictional crack in a strip
Efim A. Brener, Eran Bouchbinder
The analogy between frictional cracks, propagating along interfaces in frictional contact, and ordinary cracks in bulk materials is important in various fields. We consider a stres…
A finite geometry, inertia assisted coarsening-to-complexity transition in homogeneous frictional systems
Thibault Roch, Efim A. Brener, Jean-François Molinari +1
The emergence of statistical complexity in frictional systems, manifested in broad distributions of various observables, is not yet understood. We study this problem in velocity-dr…
The dynamics of unsteady frictional slip pulses
Anna Pomyalov, Fabian Barras, Thibault Roch +2
Self-healing slip pulses are major spatiotemporal failure modes of frictional systems, featuring a characteristic size and a propagation velocity ( is time…
Self-healing (solitonic) slip pulses in frictional systems
Anna Pomyalov, Yuri Lubomirsky, Lara Braverman +2
A prominent spatiotemporal failure mode of frictional systems is self-healing slip pulses, which are propagating solitonic structures that feature a characteristic length. Here, we…
Velocity-driven frictional sliding: Coarsening and steady-state pulse trains
Thibault Roch, Efim A. Brener, Jean-Francois Molinari +1
Frictional sliding is an intrinsically complex phenomenon, emerging from the interplay between driving forces, elasto-frictional instabilities, interfacial nonlinearity and dissipa…
Theory of unconventional singularities of frictional shear cracks
Efim A. Brener, Eran Bouchbinder
Crack-like objects that propagate along frictional interfaces, i.e.~frictional shear cracks, play a major role in a broad range of frictional phenomena. Such frictional cracks are…
