Experimental and Numerical Studies on Thermally-Induced Slip Ratcheting on a Slope

Mild temperature fluctuation of a material sitting on a slope may only cause a small slip, but a large number of the repeated temperature changes can amplify the magnitude of the overall slip and eventually bring an issue of structural instability. The slip accumulation starts from the minor magnitu...
