Synchronized oscillations and acoustic fluidization in confined granular materials
F. Giacco, L. de Arcangelis, M. Pica Ciamarra +1
According to the acoustic fluidization hypothesis, elastic waves at a characteristic frequency form inside seismic faults even in the absence of an external perturbation. These wav…
Dynamic weakening by acoustic fluidization during stick-slip motion
Ferdinando Giacco, Luigi Saggese, Lucilla de Arcangelis +2
The unexpected weakness of some faults has been attributed to the emergence of acoustic waves that promote failure by reducing the confining pressure through a mechanism known as a…
Non-monotonic dependence of the friction coefficient on heterogeneous stiffness
Ferdinando Giacco, Luigi Saggese, Lucilla de Arcangelis +2
The complexity of the frictional dynamics at the microscopic scale makes difficult to identify all of its controlling parameters. Indeed, experiments on sheared elastic bodies have…
