This book provides the state-of-the art of the present
understanding of avalanche phenomena in both functional materials
and geophysics. The main emphasis of the book is analyzing these
apparently different problems within the common perspective of
out-of-equilibrium phenomena displaying spatial and temporal
complexity that occur in a broad range of scales. Many systems,
when subjected to an external force, respond intermittently in the
form of avalanches that often span over a wide range of sizes,
energies and durations. This is often related to a class of
critical behavior characterized by the absence of characteristic
scales. Typical examples are magnetization processes, plastic
deformation and failure occuring in functional materials. These
phenomena share many similarities with seismicity arising from the
earth crust failure due to stresses that originate from plate
tectonics.
