Compressive Failure as a Critical Transition: Experimental Evidence and Mapping onto the Universality Class of Depinning

Volume: 122, Issue: 1
Published: Jan 10, 2019
Abstract
Acoustic emission (AE) measurements performed during the compressive loading of concrete samples with three different microstructures (aggregate sizes and porosity) and four sample sizes revealed that failure is preceded by an acceleration of the rate of fracturing events, power law distributions of AE energies and durations near failure, and a divergence of the fracturing correlation length and time towards failure. This argues for an...
