A relation to predict the failure of materials and potential application to volcanic eruptions and landslides.

A theoretical explanation of a time-to-failure relation is presented, with this relationship [...] then used to describe the failure of materials. This provides the potential to predict timing (tf − t) immediately before failure by extrapolating the trajectory [...] as it asymptotes to zero with no...
