Universal features of anticrack nucleation in porous solids

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe, Jonas Ritter

Characterizing the nucleation of anticracks in porous materials under compression is a great challenge and has been the subject of several investigationsin different fields, from earthquake science, rock mechanics to avalanche research[1]. Yet, the conditi ...
