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…
Slow crack growth : models and experiments
Stéphane Santucci, Loic Vanel, Sergio Ciliberto
The properties of slow crack growth in brittle materials are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. We propose a model based on a thermally activated rupture process. Cons…
Super-Arrhenius dynamics for sub-critical crack growth in disordered brittle media
P. -P. Cortet, L. Vanel, S. Ciliberto
Taking into account stress fluctuations due to thermal noise, we study thermally activated irreversible crack growth in disordered media. The influence of material disorder on sub-…
Advanced memory effects in the aging of a polymer glass
L. Bellon, S. Ciliberto, C. Laroche
A new kind of memory effect on low frequency dielectric measurements on plexiglass (PMMA) is described. These measurements show that cooling and heating the sample at constant rate…
Memory in the aging of a polymer glass
L. Bellon, S. Ciliberto, C. Laroche
Low frequency dielectric measurements on plexiglass (PMMA) show that cooling and heating the sample at constant rate give an hysteretic dependence on temperature of the dielectric…
