Summary
The response of materials and the functioning of devices is often associated with noise. In this book, Stefano Zapperi concentrates on a particular type of noise, known as crackling noise, which is characterized by an intermittent series of broadly distributed pulses. While representing a nuisance in many practical applications, crackling noise can also tell us something useful about the microscopic processes ruling the materials behavior. Each crackle in the noise series usually corresponds …

Critics Review
Zapperi (Univ. of Milan) presents an extensive summary of the statistical mechanics of avalanche phenomena in materials science. * J. Lambropoulos, CHOICE *
Zapperi (Univ. of Milan) presents an extensive summary of the statistical mechanics of avalanche phenomena in materials science. He argues that intermittent crackling noise reveals localized, impulsive events driven by the interactions of internal microstructural defects with externally applied fields. Emphasizing multiple scales and scaling, the author embeds these avalanche phenomena within the broader fields of critical phenomena and phase transitions, reviewing applications in non-destructive testing and hazard predictive methods. * J. Lambropoulos, University of Rochester *
