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…
Unconventional singularities, scale separation and energy balance in frictional rupture
Efim A. Brener, Eran Bouchbinder
A widespread framework for understanding frictional rupture, such as earthquakes along geological faults, invokes an analogy to ordinary cracks. A distinct feature of ordinary crac…
Spatiotemporal dynamics of frictional systems: The interplay of interfacial friction and bulk elasticity
Yohai Bar-Sinai, Michael Aldam, Robert Spatschek +2
Frictional interfaces are abundant in natural and engineering systems, and predicting their behavior still poses challenges of prime scientific and technological importance. At the…
The emergence of crack-like behavior of frictional rupture: Edge singularity and energy balance
Fabian Barras, Michael Aldam, Thibault Roch +3
The failure of frictional interfaces -- the process of frictional rupture -- is widely assumed to feature crack-like properties, with far-reaching implications for various discipli…
The emergence of crack-like behavior of frictional rupture: The origin of stress drops
Fabian Barras, Michael Aldam, Thibault Roch +3
The process of frictional rupture, i.e. the failure of frictional systems, abounds in the technological and natural world around us, ranging from squealing car brake pads to earthq…
