Breakdown of the classical rupture theory and earthquake propagation in the "forbidden" super-Rayleigh range
Anna Pomyalov, Fabian Barras, Eran Bouchbinder
Earthquakes propagating faster than the shear wave-speed are commonly thought to undergo a super-shear transition upon which they discontinuously jump from the sub-Rayleigh regime…

Thermo-viscous instability of flow in a weakly heat-conducting channel
Federico Lanza, Gaute Linga, Fabian Barras +1
An instability may arise when a hot viscous fluid enters a thin gap and cools through heat transfer to a colder surrounding environment. Fluids whose viscosity increases strongly u…

Unveiling the role of seepage forces in the acceleration of landslides creep
Fabian Barras, Andreas Aspaas, Einat Aharonov +1
In the context of global climate change, geological materials are increasingly destabilized by water flow and infiltration. We study the creeping dynamics of a densely monitored la…
