On the nonlinear dynamics of rupture [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 1998 The rupture on a fault resulting in an earthquake is clearly a complex process. In order to better understand this process the continuum version of the slider-block model has been considered in some detail. In particular, the role of a cohesive breakaway

Unraveling Ice-Solid Interface Rupture Dynamics: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations. [PDF]
LangmuirUnwanted icing on exposed surfaces poses significant risks, driving the quest for effective anti-icing mechanisms. While fracture mechanics concepts have been developed for designing coatings that weaken the ice-solid interface on soft surfaces, the factors that dictate ice adhesion strength and its counterpart, ice removal force, on hard surfaces ...

Gel rupture during dynamic swelling
Soft Matter, 2021 A complex, three-stage fracture process is described for hydrogels, resulting in material failure. This process is markedly different than that observed in brittle materials, and we describe how this process varies with network architecture.

Uncertainty quantification of dynamic earthquake rupture simulations [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2021 We present a tutorial demonstration using a surrogate-model based uncertainty quantification (UQ) approach to study dynamic earthquake rupture on a rough fault surface. The UQ approach performs model calibration where we choose simulation points, fit and validate an approximate surrogate model or emulator, and then examine the input space to see which ...

Role of Weak Materials in Earthquake Rupture Dynamics. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractWeak materials in seismic slip zones are important in studies of earthquake mechanics. For instance, the exceptionally large slip during the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake has been attributed to the presence of smectite in the fault zone. However, weak fault rocks cannot accumulate large amounts of elastic strain, which is thought to counter their ...

The Dynamics of Elongated Earthquake Ruptures [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019 AbstractThe largest earthquakes propagate laterally after saturating the fault's seismogenic width and reach large length‐to‐width ratiosL/W. Smaller earthquakes can also develop elongated ruptures due to confinement by heterogeneities of initial stresses or material properties. The energetics of such elongated ruptures is radically different from that

Rupture Dynamics and Chromatin Herniation in Deformed Nuclei. [PDF]
Biophys J, 2017 During migration of cells in vivo, in both pathological processes such as cancer metastasis or physiological events such as immune cell migration through tissue, the cells must move through narrow interstitial spaces that can be smaller than the nucleus.

Single-Molecule Rupture Dynamics on Multidimensional Landscapes [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2010 We explore emergent effects of multidimensionality of the free energy landscape on single-molecule kinetics under constant force. The proposed minimal model reveals the existence of a spectrum of unusual scenarios for the force-dependent lifetime, all of which are shown to occur on a free energy landscape with a single transition state.

Dynamic earthquake rupture in the lower crust [PDF]
Science Advances, 2019 A lower crustal earthquake is initiated by dynamic rupturing with fragmentation of wall rock that precedes frictional melting.
