Avalanches in Functional Materials and Geophysics

Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2017
Abstract/Sommario: This book provides the state-of-the art of the present understanding of avalanche phenomena in both functional materials and geophysics. The main emphasis of the book is analyzing these apparently different problems within the common perspective of out-of-equilibrium phenomena displaying spatial and temporal complexity that occur in a broad range of scales. Many systems, when subjected to an external force, respond intermittently in the form of avalanches that often span over a wide ra ...; [leggi tutto]
