A Multi-Channel Setup to Study Fractures in Scintillators
A. Tantot, C. Bouard, R. Briche +6
To investigate fractoluminescence in scintillating crystals used for particle detection, we have developed a multi-channel setup built around samples of double-cleavage drilled com…
Sound and light from fractures in scintillators
A. Tantot, S. Santucci, O. Ramos +7
Prompted by intriguing events observed in certain particle-physics searches for rare events, we study light and acoustic emission simultaneously in some inorganic scintillators sub…
Statistical properties of microcracking in polyurethane foams under tensile test, influence of temperature and density
Stéphanie Deschanel, Loïc Vanel, Gérard Vigier +2
We report tensile failure experiments on polyurethane (PU) foams. Experiments have been performed by imposing a constant strain rate. We work on heterogeneous materials for whom th…
Subcritical crack growth in fibrous materials
Stéphane Santucci, Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Stéphanie Deschanel +2
We present experiments on the slow growth of a single crack in a fax paper sheet submitted to a constant force . We find that statistically averaged crack growth curves can be d…
