The BAMline at the BESSY II synchrotron X-ray source has enabled research for more than
20 years in widely spread research fields such as materials science, biology, cultural …

Understanding compaction localization in porous limestone in the laboratory is significantly
more challenging than in sandstone because of the lack of consistent acoustic emission …

Underground gas storages (UGSs) are important large-scale industrial facilities used to
bridge the gap between natural gas consumption and supply. The cyclic operation of the …

Crack interactions leading to shear localization were quantified using microstructural
analysis for brittle faults and high‐temperature ductile faults formed during experiments on …

The permeability of volcanic rock controls the distribution of pore fluids and pore fluid
pressure within a volcanic edifice, and is therefore considered to influence eruptive style and …

Analyzing how fracture networks develop from preexisting isolated fault segments in
immature faults may provide knowledge of the preparation process leading to fault growth …

Continuum mechanics describes compressive failure as a standard bifurcation in the
response of a material to an increasing load: Damage, which initially grows uniformly in the …

Wood deformation, in particular when subject to compression, exhibits scale-free avalanche-
like behavior as well as structure-dependent localization of deformation. We have taken …

This paper verifies the compliance of the earthquake productivity law (Shebalin et al.,
2020a) in laboratory experiments on rock destruction. Westerly granite and Benheim …
