A Depth-Averaged Material Point Method for Shallow Landslides: Applications to Snow Slab Avalanche Release

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Lars Kristoffer Uhlen Blatny, Bertil Trottet, Denis Aloyse Joseph Steffen, Louis Marie Cédric Guillet

Shallow landslides pose a significant threat to people and infrastructure. Despite significant progress in the understanding of such phenomena, the evaluation of the size of the landslide release zone, a crucial input for risk assessment, still remains a c ...

Ascent and movement of buoyant fluids in the lithosphere

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo

Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compressive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the developm ...

To break or not to break: The role of secondary mineralisation on joint reactivation in sandstone

Alexandra Roma Larisa Kushnir, Michael Heap

Discontinuities, including fractures and joint sets, modify the fluid transport properties and strength of rock masses. While open fractures and joints increase rock mass permeability and decrease rock mass strength, fluid flow within these structures can ...

Microtensile failure mechanisms in lamellar bone: Influence of fibrillar orientation, specimen size and hydration

Johann Michler, Daniele Casari, Tatiana Kochetkova

A mechanistic understanding of bone fracture is indispensable for developing improved fracture risk assessment in clinics. Since bone is a hierarchically structured material, gaining such knowledge requires analysis at multiple length scales. Here, the ten ...

Fatigue as the missing link between bone fragility and fracture

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann, Claire Acevedo

The prevention of fragility fractures in bone—pathologic fractures resulting from daily activity and mostly occurring in the elderly population—has been a long-term clinical quest. Recent research indicating that falls in the elderly might be the conse- qu ...

Hydro-mechanical analysis of volcanic ash slopes during rainfall

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, John Eichenberger

Rainfall-induced landslides in volcanic ashes represent a major natural hazard in many regions around the world. Owing to their loose structure, volcanic ash slopes are prone to rainfall-induced landslides. The paper presents a continuum modelling approach ...

Entraining avalanches on slopes: results from experiments using PIV on viscoplastic gravity currents.

Christophe Ancey, Belinda Margaret Bates

In order to conduct experiments simulating entrainment by avalanches on slopes, it was necessary to select a material which could act as both a stationary entrainable layer, mimicking undisturbed mud or snow, and a flowing mass, representing the flowing av ...

Dynamic response of a rock fracture filled with viscoelastic materials

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu, Jianbo Zhu

Rock fractures filled with viscoelastic materials, such as sand, usually contribute to rock mass instability under the influence of seismic waves and dynamic loads. The purpose of this study is to verify that the specific fracture stiffness and the specifi ...
