A versatile flexure-based 6-axes force/torque sensor and its application to tribology
M Guibert, C Oliver, T Durand +5
Six-axes force/torque sensors are increasingly needed in mechanical engineering. Here, we introduce a flexure-based design for such sensors, which solves some of the drawbacks of t…
Finite deformations govern the anisotropic shear-induced area reduction of soft elastic contacts
J. Lengiewicz, M. de Souza, M. Lahmar +4
Solid contacts involving soft materials are important in mechanical engineering or biomechanics. Experimentally, such contacts have been shown to shrink significantly under shear,…
Aftershock sequences and seismic-like organization of acoustic events produced by a single propagating crack
Jonathan Barés, Alizée Dubois, Lamine Hattali +2
Brittle fractures of inhomogeneous materials like rocks, concrete, or ceramics are of two types: Nominally brittle and driven by the propagation of a single dominant crack or quasi…
Finite size effects on crack front pinning at heterogeneous planar interfaces: Experimental, finite elements and perturbation approaches
Sylvain Patinet, L Alzate, E Barthel +3
Understanding the role played by the microstructure of materials on their macroscopic failure properties is an important challenge in solid mechanics. Indeed, when a crack propagat…
Hydrodynamic coarsening in phase-separated silicate melts
David Bouttes, Océane Lambert, Corinne Claireaux +7
Using in-situ synchrotron tomography, we investigate the coarsening dynamics of barium borosilicate melts during phase separation. The 3-D geometry of the two interconnected phases…
Fluctuations of global energy release and crackling in nominally brittle heterogeneous fracture
Jonathan Barés, Lamine Hattali, Davy Dalmas +1
The temporal evolution of mechanical energy and spatially-averaged crack speed are both monitored in slowly fracturing artificial rocks. Both signals display an irregular burst-lik…
