Creep failure in heterogeneous materials from the barrier landscape
Juan Carlos Verano-Espitia, Tero Mäkinen, Mikko J. Alava +1
Stressed under a constant load, materials creep with a final acceleration of deformation and for any given applied stress and material, the creep failure time can strongly vary. We…
Crack propagation by activated avalanches during creep and fatigue from elastic interface theory
Tero Mäkinen, Lumi Tuokkola, Joonas Lahikainen +3
The growth of cracks combines materials science, fracture mechanics, and statistical physics. The importance of fluctuations in the crack velocity is fundamental since it signals t…
Creep of a fracture line in paper peeling
J. Koivisto, J. Rosti, M. J. Alava
The slow motion of a crack line is studied via an experiment in which sheets of paper are split into two halves in a ``peel-in-nip'' (PIN) geometry under a constant load, in creep.…
