We analyze the Rice-Ruina state and rate dependent friction model. The system consists of one or two blocks driven by springs with constant velocity on a dry, rough surface. Our discussion is limited to the creep-like motion, when the driving velocity is small. Two regimes of motion are observed: stick-slip and steady sliding. The stability of the steady sliding depends on the model parameters....

The benefits of tailored lattice topologies are limited in elevated temperature conditions without a clear understanding about the interplay between metamaterial structure and creep response base material. This study showed that causes compressive behavior to differ largely from bulk structures same Inconel 625 FCCZ lattices solid round bar specimens were crept compression at two temperatures t...

Retinal action potentials were recorded at the corneas of light-adapted wolf spider eyes in response to large positive and negative step changes in background illumination. These incremental responses were superimposed upon the steady-state DC responses to the background illumination. Both positive and negative step responses had peaks which overshot the DC levels to which they decayed. The ove...

In this letter, we develop a framework to study the mechanical response of athermal amorphous solids via coupling mesoscale and microscopic models. Using measurements coarse grained quantities from simulations dense disordered particulate systems, present coherent elasto-plastic model approach for deformation flow yield stress materials. For given set parameters, allows match consistently trans...
