High-temporal-resolution quasideterministic dynamics of granular stick-slip

Abstract We report high-temporal-resolution observations of the spontaneous instability of model granular materials under isotropic and triaxial compression in fully drained conditions during laboratory tests representative of earthquakes. Unlike in natural granular materials, in the model granular...
