\t\t\tMechanical failure of materials is a complex phenomenon underlying many accidents and natural disasters ranging from the fracture of small devices to earthquakes. Despite the vast separation of spatial, temporal, energy, and strain-rate scales, and the differences in geometry, it has been proposed that laboratory experiments on brittle fracture in heterogeneous materials, mainly using rocks, can be a model for earthquake occurrence but results were not completely reliable, as they do not reproduce all the properties of earthquakes. <\/p>\n

The researcher Eduard Vives, from the Faculty of Physics of the UB, led the research in which collaborated several researchers from the Faculty \u2014located at the BKC\u2014, Xavier Illa, Antoni Planes and Jordi Bar\u00f3 (the main author), as well as \u00c1lvaro Corral, from the Centre for Mathematical Research (CERCA \u2013 Government of Catalonia), and researchers from the University of Cambridge, the University of Viena and the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research of San Luis Potosi (Mexico). <\/p>\n
