Experimental evidence of seismic ruptures initiated by aseismic slip
Yohann Faure, Elsa Bayart
Seismic faults release the stress accumulated during tectonic movement through rapid ruptures or slow slip events. The slow slip events play a crucial role in the seismic cycle as…
Slippery but tough - the rapid fracture of lubricated frictional interfaces
Elsa Bayart, Ilya Svetlizky, Jay Fineberg
We study the onset of friction for rough contacting blocks whose interface is coated with a thin lubrication layer. High speed measurements of the real contact area and stress fiel…
Measuring order in the isotropic packing of elastic rods
E. Bayart, S. Deboeuf, F. Corson +2
The packing of elastic bodies has emerged as a paradigm for the study of macroscopic disordered systems. However, progress is hampered by the lack of controlled experiments. Here w…
Finite-distance singularities in the tearing of thin sheets
E. Bayart, A. Boudaoud, M. Adda-Bedia
We investigate the interaction between two cracks propagating in a thin sheet. Two different experimental geometries allow us to tear sheets by imposing an out-of-plane shear loadi…
