摘要

In this manuscript, we describe a scientific device specifically designed for the study of the plasticity fluctuations preceding the fracture of granular media. Biaxial tests on model granular media are performed using a commercial uniaxial loading system. Strain field fluctuations are measured using a method based on the interference of coherent light scattered by the sample. We show that such a device enables discrete plasticity events to be unambiguously evidenced. Moreover, those discrete plasticity fluctuations depend only on the imposed strain, and not on the strain rate.
