Material failure time and the fiber bundle model with thermal noise
A. Guarino, R. Scorretti, S. Ciliberto
The statistical properties of failure are studied in a fiber bundle model with thermal noise. We find that in agreement with recent experiments the macroscopic failure is produced…

Temperature cycling during the aging of a polymer glass
L. Bellon, S. Ciliberto, C. Laroche
Temperature cycling is used to study of aging properties of PMMA dielectric constant. If a negative temperature cycle is applied during the aging time the relaxation dynamics is ju…

Moisture induced Ageing in Granular Media
L. Bocquet, E. Charlaix, S. Ciliberto +1
We present experiments showing that a granular system of small beads does exhibit ageing properties : its maximum stability angle is measured to increase logarithmically with resti…
