Statistical Similarity between the Compression of a Porous Material and Earthquakes
Statistical Similarity between the Compression of a Porous Material and Earthquakes
It has long been stated that there are profound analogies between fracture experiments and earthquakes; however, few works attempt a complete characterization of the parallels between these so separate phenomena. We study the acoustic emission events produced during the compression of Vycor (SiO(2)). The Gutenberg-Richter law, the modified Omori's law, …
