Abstract
<jats:p xml:lang="fr"><abstract>
<p>Minerals typically form porous assemblies with porosity extending from a few percent to ca. 35% in porous sandstones, and over 50% in tuff, clays, and tuff. While transport of gases and liquids are widely researched in these materials, much less is known about their mechanical behaviour under stress. With the development of artificial porous materials such questions become more pertinent, e.g., for applications as fillers in car bumpers and airplane wings, and nanoscale applications in memistors and neuromorphic computers. This article argues that elasticity and related dielectric and magnetic properties can be described‑to some extend-as universal in porous materials. The collapse of porous materials under stress triggers in many cases avalanches of collapsed regions which are scale invariant and follow irreversible power law energy emission. Emphasis is given to a recent simple collapse model by Casals and Salje which covers many of the observed phenomena.</p>

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
