Statistical Physics Of Fracture And Breakdown: Models And Forecasting

2018-10-26 Dr. Soumyajoti Biswas, Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Go

ABSTRACT :

From devastating earthquakes to wide spread power outages, catastrophic events can disrupt our everyday lives in various ways. A major goal of research for physicists and engineers alike has been to forecast such catastrophic events. We will discuss methods from statistical physics community to identify hot-spots for such events. Analysis of data and models for self-organized critical dynamics of these systems will be presented with merits, demerits and possible future directions.
