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…
Critical nucleation length for accelerating frictional slip
Michael Aldam, Marc Weikamp, Robert Spatschek +2
The spontaneous nucleation of accelerating slip along slowly driven frictional interfaces is central to a broad range of geophysical, physical and engineering systems, with particu…
Frictional sliding without geometrical reflection symmetry
Michael Aldam, Yohai Bar-Sinai, Ilya Svetlizky +3
The dynamics of frictional interfaces play an important role in many physical systems spanning a broad range of scales. It is well-known that frictional interfaces separating two d…
