The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated
emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range …

The material properties of earth materials often change after the material has been
perturbed (slow dynamics). For example, the seismic velocity of subsurface materials …

The appearance of nonlinear effects in elastic wave propagation is one of the most reliable
and sensitive indicators of the onset of material damage. However, these effects are usually …

We tested samples cored from the Vaca Muerta shale reservoir using nanoindentation (2
min) and triaxial (12 hr) creep experiments in which confining pressure and differential …

Soil creeps imperceptibly but relentlessly downhill, shaping landscapes and the human and
ecological communities that live within them. What causes this granular material to 'flow'at …

To investigate temporal seismic velocity changes due to earthquake related processes and
environmental forcing in Northern Chile, we analyse 8 yr of ambient seismic noise recorded …

Non-classical nonlinear elasticity in micro-inhomogeneous materials such as rocks and
cracked or granular materials leads to a number of phenomena ranging from hysteresis and …

Mechanical stress acting in the Earth's crust is a fundamental property that is important for a
wide range of scientific and engineering applications. The orientation of maximum horizontal …

In this study, for the first time, we apply optical coherence elastography to map and monitor
slow strains caused by residual stresses in cartilaginous tissues subjected to …

We present a theoretical model and experimental evidence of the long‐time relaxation
process (slow dynamics) in rocks and other geomaterials following a dynamic wave …
