Abstract
The statistics of noise emitted by ultrathin crumpled sheets is measured while they exhibit logarithmic relaxations under load. We find that the logarithmic relaxation advanced via a series of discrete, audible, micromechanical events that are log-Poisson distributed (i.e., the process becomes a Poisson process when time stamps are replaced by their logarithms). The analysis places constraints on the possible mechanisms underlying the glasslike slow relaxation and memory retention in these systems.
