| Popis: |
Frictional weakening by vibrations was first invoked in the 70's to explain unusual fault slips and earthquakes, low viscosity during the collapse of impact craters or the extraordinary mobility of sturzstroms, peculiar rock avalanches which travels large horizontal distances. This mechanism was further invoked to explain the remote triggering of earthquakes or abnormally large landslides or pyroclastic flows runout. Recent experimental and theoretical work pointed out the velocity of vibration as the key parameter which governs frictional weakening in sheared granular media. Here we show that the grains mobility is not mandatory, and that the vibration velocity governs both granular and solid frictional weakening. The velocity threshold controlling the transition from stick-slip motion to continuous sliding is of the same order of magnitude, namely a hundred microns per second. It is linked to the roughness distribution of the asperities at the contact surface. |
