| Abstract (English): | Although earthquakes have been scientifically studied for more than a century, essential questions as the possibility of predicting catastrophic events remain still open. Here we introduce an original experimental setup that mimics the behavior of a tectonic fault. By continuously shearing a granular layer under confined pressure, we are able to obtain a dynamics ruled by scale-invariant avalanches. We monitor the sizes of these avalanches by two methods and both show a power-law distribution (similar to the Gutenberg-Richter law). There is also a strong resemblance between waiting times distribution in our experiment and other studies with real earthquakes data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Aquí introducimos un sistema experimental original que imita el comportamiento de una falla tectónica. Mediante el cizalle continuo de una capa granular sometida a una presión de confinamiento, somos capaces de obtener una dinámica de avalanchas invariantes de escala. Supervisamos los tamaños de estas avalanchas por dos métodos y ambos muestran una distribución en ley de potencia (similar a la ley de Gutenberg-Richter). Hay también una gran similitud entre la distribución de tiempos que espera entre eventos obtenidos en nuestro experimento y otros estudios con datos de terremotos reales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
