How Criticality Meets Bifurcation in Compressive Failure of Disordered Solids

Continuum mechanics describes compressive failure as a standard bifurcation in the response of a material to an increasing load: Damage, which initially grows uniformly in the material, localizes within a thin band at failure. Yet, experiments recording the acoustic activity preceding localization e...
