Stochastic dynamics of a sheared granular medium
Alberto Petri, Andrea Baldassarri, Fergal Dalton +3
We experimentally investigate the response of a sheared granular medium in a Couette geometry. The apparatus exhibits the expected stick-slip motion and we probe it in the very int…
A thermodynamical fiber bundle model for the fracture of disordered materials
Alessandro Virgilii, Alberto Petri, Silvio R. Salinas
We investigate a disordered version of a thermodynamic fiber bundle model proposed by Selinger, Wang, Gelbart, and Ben-Shaul a few years ago. For simple forms of disorder, the mode…
Crystal vs glass formation in lattice models with many coexisting ordered phases
Mario J. de Oliveira, Alberto Petri, Tania Tome
We present here new evidence that after a quench the planar Potts model on the square lattice relaxes towards a glassy state if the number of states q is larger than four. By extra…
