Dynamics of liquid nano-threads : fluctuation-driven instability and rupture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The instability and rupture of nanoscale liquid threads is shown to strongly depend on thermal fluctuations. These fluctuations are naturally occurring within molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and can be incorporated via fluctuating hydrodynamics into ...

The Dynamics of Elongated Earthquake Ruptures [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

Estimation of the Nucleation Location and Rupture Extent of the 1850 Xichang, Sichuan, China, Earthquake by Dynamic Rupture Simulations on a Multi‐Segment Stepover Structure

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2023
We simulated the rupture dynamics and ground motion of the 1850 Xichang, China, earthquake on the Zemuhe fault, which consists of the Lijinbao segment, the Dajing segment, the Chechejie segment, and the Songxin segment, with the curved grid finite ...

Image-Based Numerical Investigation in an Impending Abdominal Aneurysm Rupture

open access: yesFluids, 2022
Blood flow dynamics plays a crucial role in the growth and rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The aim of this study was to analyze the possibility of predicting aneurysmal rupture by numerical investigations based on diagnostic images. The blood flow

3D Dynamic Rupture Modeling of the 6 February 2023, Kahramanmaraş, Turkey Mw 7.8 and 7.7 Earthquake Doublet Using Early Observations

open access: yesThe Seismic Record, 2023
The 2023 Turkey earthquake sequence involved unexpected ruptures across numerous fault segments. We present 3D dynamic rupture simulations to illuminate the complex dynamics of the earthquake doublet.

Single-Molecule Rupture Dynamics on Multidimensional Landscapes [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical 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.

Instabilities at Frictional Interfaces: Creep Patches, Nucleation and Rupture Fronts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The strength and stability of frictional interfaces, ranging from tribological systems to earthquake faults, are intimately related to the underlying spatially-extended dynamics.

A window into the complexity of the dynamic rupture of the 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake, recorded by over 1000 near-field stations and multiple large-aperture arrays, is by far the best recorded earthquake in the history of seismology and provides unique opportunities to address fundamental issues in ...
