Résumé

We study an experimental model of a fault consisting in a stationary shear band in a compressed granular sample. To obtain those bands, we perform a biaxial compression of a granular sample constituted of glass beads during which we observe the spontaneous formation of shear planes along the Mohr-Coulomb directions in the sample. We study the post-failure regime during which all the deformation occurs along the stationary shear bands. Using an interferometric method of measurement of micro-deformations based on multiple scattering, we obtain full-field measurements of the local incremental deformation in the sample. The deformation measured are typically of $10^{-5}$ with a resolution of about 300 microns (3 bead diameters). Our technics gives access to the strain fluctuations inside the shear band and we show that the macroscopic mean deformation in the bands is the result of the accumulation of local, intermittent, shear events. The size distribution of those shear events follows the Gutenberg-Richter law. We observe clustering of those events following Omori's law and we apply a declustering method to reveal the causal structure underlying our sequences of events (Houdoux et al. 2021).&#160;</p><p>In my talk, I will focus on recent experimental results regarding the dependence of the series statistics on the driving velocity. We have studied sequences of aftershocks for different compression velocities and we have shown that surprinsingly the aftershock sequences we observe are deformation-dependent and not time-dependent. We discuss such a deformation memory effect in the framework of an Olami-Feder-Christensen model.</p><p>Houdoux et al. Commun Earth Environ 2, 90 (2021)</p>
