Emerging complexity in a simple model of the mechanical behaviour of rocks
David Amitrano
We propose a mechanical model for the behaviour of rocks based on progressive damage at the elementary scale and elastic interaction. It allows us to simulate several experimental…
Rupture by damage accumulation in rocks
David Amitrano
The deformation of rocks is associated with microcracks nucleation and propagation, i.e. damage. The accumulation of damage and its spatial localization lead to the creation of a m…
Seismic precursory patterns before a cliff collapse and critical-point phenomena
David Amitrano, Jean Robert Grasso, Gloria Senfaute
We analyse the statistical pattern of seismicity before a 1-2 103 m3 chalk cliff collapse on the Normandie ocean shore, Western France. We show that a power law acceleration of sei…
Techniques, advances, problems and issues in numerical modelling of landslide hazard
Theo Van Asch, Jean-Philippe Malet, Ludovicus Van Beek +1
Slope movements (e.g. landslides) are dynamic systems that are complex in time and space and closely linked to both inherited and current preparatory and triggering controls. It is…
