Recent experimental and theoretical progress on the study of crackling noise in the plastic
deformation of crystals, ferroelastics, and porous materials is reviewed. We specifically point …

Abstract Domain walls and phase boundaries are fundamental ingredients of ferroelectrics
and strongly influence their functional properties. Although both interfaces have been …

Compression experiments on micron-scale specimens and acoustic emission (AE)
measurements on bulk samples revealed that the dislocation motion resembles a stick-slip …

For the first time in metallic glasses, we extract both the exponents and scaling functions that
describe the nature, statistics, and dynamics of slip events during slow deformation …

Slowly-compressed single crystals, bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), rocks, granular materials
and the earth all deform via intermittent slips or “quakes”. We find that although these …

To examine the influence of lithology on the microseismic response mechanism during the
process of coal and rock hydraulic fracturing (HF), we selected four lithological samples of …

Accurate knowledge of the spatiotemporal evolution of damage within mechanically loaded
structural elements is of great importance for a wide range of engineering fields. In this …

Avalanche sources describe rapid and local events that govern deformation processes in
various materials. The fundamental differences between an avalanche source and its …

The multiple collapse mechanisms of complex materials produced by additive
manufacturing (AM) were identified by measurements of the acoustic emission (AE) of the …

Aftershock cascades are a characteristic feature of natural seismicity, but underlying
mechanisms remain debated. Here, we experimentally explore the presence or absence of …
