Universal fluctuations and extreme statistics of avalanches near the depinning transition

M LeBlanc, L Angheluta, K Dahmen… - Physical Review E …, 2013 - APS
We derive exact predictions for universal scaling exponents and scaling functions
associated with the statistics of maximum velocities vm during avalanches described by the …

Avalanches in plastic deformation: maximum velocity statistics, finite temperature effects, and analysis of low time resolution data

MP Leblanc - 2016 - ideals.illinois.edu
In both crystalline and amorphous solids, plastic deformation consists of intermittent jumps
called avalanches, whose sizes are power-law-distributed over a scaling regime. In this …

Avalanches in stars and at finite temperature

MA Sheikh - 2019 - ideals.illinois.edu
We study two related but distinct aspects of avalanches in physical systems. The first is the
study of avalanches that we have observed in stars. We apply results from the mean field …
