An acoustic signature of extreme failure on model granular materials

Résumé

Unexpectedly, granular materials can fail, the structure even destroyed, spontaneously in simple isotropic compression with stick-slip-like frictional behaviour. This extreme behaviour is conceptually impossible for saturated two-phase assembly in classical granular physics. Furthermore, the triggering mechanisms of these laboratory events remain mysterious, as in natural earthquakes. Here, we report a new interpretation of these failures in under-explored isotropic compression using the time-frequency analysis of Cauchy continuous wavelet transform of acoustic emissions and multiphysics numerical simulations. Wavelet transformation techniques can give insights into the temporal evolution of the state of granular materials en route to failure and offer a plausible explanation of the distinctive hearing sound of the stick-slip phenomenon. We also extend the traditional statistical seismic Gutenberg–Richter power-law behaviour for hypothetical biggest earthquakes based on the mechanisms of stick-slip frictional instability, using very large artificial isotropic labquakes and the ultimate unpredictable liquefaction failure.
