A geophone wireless sensor network for investigating glacier stick-slip motion
We have developed an innovative passive borehole geophone system, as part of a wireless environmental sensor network to investigate glacier stick-slip motion. The new geophone nodes use an ARM Cortex-M3 processor with a low power design capable of running on battery power while embedded in the ice. Only data from seismic events was stored, held temporarily on a micro-SD card until they were ret...
متن کاملBasal icequakes recorded beneath an Alpine glacier (Glacier d 'Argentiere,MontBlanc, France): evidence for stick-slip motion
While basal icequakes associated with glacier motion have been detected under Antarctica for several decades, there remains very little evidence of stick-slip motion for Alpine glaciers. Here we analyzed 2357 basal icequakes that were recorded at Glacier d’Argentière (Mont-Blanc Massif) between February and November of 2012, and that are likely to be associated with basal sliding. These events ...
متن کاملFracture and friction: Stick-slip motion.
We discuss the stick-slip motion of an elastic block sliding along a rigid substrate. We argue that for a given external shear stress this system shows a discontinuous nonequilibrium transition from a uniform stick state to uniform sliding at some critical stress which is nothing but the Griffith threshold for crack propagation. An inhomogeneous mode of sliding occurs when the driving velocity ...
متن کاملEntropy Content During Nanometric Stick-Slip Motion
To explore the existence of self-organization during friction, this paper considers the motion of all atoms in a systems consisting of an Atomic Force Microscope metal tip sliding on a metal slab. The tip and the slab are set in relative motion with constant velocity. The vibrations of individual atoms with respect to that relative motion are obtained explicitly using Molecular Dynamics with Em...
متن کاملFiber bundle model with stick-slip dynamics.
We propose a generic model to describe the mechanical response and failure of systems which undergo a series of stick-slip events when subjected to an external load. We model the system as a bundle of fibers, where single fibers can gradually increase their relaxed length with a stick-slip mechanism activated by the increasing load. We determine the constitutive equation of the system and show ...
