Quantitative earthquake-like statistical properties of the flow of soft materials below yield stress
To better understand the response of Earth’s crust to earthquakes, it is valuable to mimic the geographic scale phenomena in laboratory scale experiment. Here, Bera et al. show that large bursts in ground acceleration of real earthquakes can be well reproduced in two soft, yield stress materials.
