Creep is a time-dependent deformation of solids at relatively low stresses, leading to the breakdown with time. Here we propose a simple model for creep failure of disordered solids, in which temperature and stress are controllable. Despite its simplicity, this model can reproduce most experimental observations. Time dependence of the strain rate is well fitted with power laws resembling the Omori-Utsu and the inverse Omori laws in the primary and the tertiary creep regimes, respectively. Distribution of the creep lifetime obeys the log-normal distribution, and the average creep lifetime decays in a scale-free manner with the increasing stress. The above results are in good agreement with experiments. Additionally, the mean avalanche size as a function of temperature exhibits a series of jumps, and finite-size scaling implies the existence of phase transitions.

We use a simple model to extend network models for activated dynamics to a continuous landscape with a well-defined notion of distance and a direct connection to many-body systems. The model consists of a tracer in a high-dimensional funnel landscape with no disorder. We find a non-equilibrium low-temperature phase with aging dynamics, that is effectively equivalent to that of models with built-in disorder, such as Trap Model, Step Model and REM.
We study the ultra slow domain wall motion in ferromagnetic thin films driven by a weak magnetic field. Using time resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy, we access to the statistics of the intermittent thermally activated domain wall jumps between deep metastable states. Our observations are consistent with the existence of creep avalanches: roughly independent clusters with broad size and ignition waiting-time distributions, each one composed by a large number of spatio-temporally correlated thermally activated elementary events. Moreover, we evidence that the large scale geometry of domain walls is better described by depinning rather than equilibrium universal exponents.
An accurate understanding of the interplay between random and deterministic processes in generating extreme events is of critical importance in many fields, from forecasting extreme meteorological events to the catastrophic failure of materials and i n the Earth. Here we investigate the statistics of record-breaking events in the time series of crackling noise generated by local rupture events during the compressive failure of porous materials. The events are generated by computer simulations of the uni-axial compression of cylindrical samples in a discrete element model of sedimentary rocks that closely resemble those of real experiments. The number of records grows initially as a decelerating power law of the number of events, followed by an acceleration immediately prior to failure. We demonstrate the existence of a characteristic record rank k^* which separates the two regimes of the time evolution. Up to this rank deceleration occurs due to the effect of random disorder. Record breaking then accelerates towards macroscopic failure, when physical interactions leading to spatial and temporal correlations dominate the location and timing of local ruptures. Sub-sequences of bursts between consecutive records are characterized by a power law size distribution with an exponent which decreases as failure is approached. High rank records are preceded by bursts of increasing size and waiting time between consecutive events and they are followed by a relaxation process. As a reference, surrogate time series are generated by reshuffling the crackling bursts. The record statistics of the uncorrelated surrogates agrees very well with the corresponding predictions of independent identically distributed random variables, which confirms that the temporal and spatial correlation of cracking bursts are responsible for the observed unique behaviour.
The dynamics of micrometer-sized magnetic domains in ultra-thin ferromagnetic films is so dramatically slowed down by quenched disorder that the spontaneous elastic tension collapse becomes unobservable at ambient temperature. By magneto-optical imag ing we show that a weak zero-bias AC magnetic field can assist such curvature-driven collapse, making the area of a bubble to reduce at a measurable rate, in spite of the negligible effect that the same curvature has on the average creep motion driven by a comparable DC field. An analytical model explains this phenomenon quantitatively.

We calculate analytically the critical connectivity $K_c$ of Random Threshold Networks (RTN) for homogeneous and inhomogeneous thresholds, and confirm the results by numerical simulations. We find a super-linear increase of $K_c$ with the (average) a bsolute threshold $|h|$, which approaches $K_c(|h|) sim h^2/(2ln{|h|})$ for large $|h|$, and show that this asymptotic scaling is universal for RTN with Poissonian distributed connectivity and threshold distributions with a variance that grows slower than $h^2$. Interestingly, we find that inhomogeneous distribution of thresholds leads to increased propagation of perturbations for sparsely connected networks, while for densely connected networks damage is reduced; the cross-over point yields a novel, characteristic connectivity $K_d$, that has no counterpart in Boolean networks. Last, local correlations between node thresholds and in-degree are introduced. Here, numerical simulations show that even weak (anti-)correlations can lead to a transition from ordered to chaotic dynamics, and vice versa. It is shown that the naive mean-field assumption typical for the annealed approximation leads to false predictions in this case, since correlations between thresholds and out-degree that emerge as a side-effect strongly modify damage propagation behavior.
