Avalanche dynamics of fiber bundle models [PDF]

, 2009
We present a detailed analytical and numerical study of the avalanche distributions of the continuous damage fiber bundle model CDFBM . Linearly elastic fibers undergo a series of partial failure events which give rise to a gradual degradation of their ...

Preparatory Phase of Major Earthquakes During Campi Flegrei Unrest (2020–2024)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The ongoing unrest at Campi Flegrei is posing significant challenges for hazard assessment and risk mitigation. This densely populated region has experienced more than 20,000 shallow earthquakes since 2020, driven by hydrothermal fluid accumulation beneath a mechanically strong caprock.

Mechanics and Statistics of Postseismic Shaking

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract Analysis of 2 weeks of continuous post‐seismic shaking after the 2019 M7.1 Ridgecrest, CA earthquake sequence using 4 nearby borehole seismometers reveals that continuous ground motions decay as Omori's law in time and follow the Gutenberg‐Richter distribution in logarithmic amplitude.

Interplay of Loading and Adsorption Controls Elastic Deformation of Clastic and Crystalline Rocks

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract Rock elasticity varies with both mechanical loading and moisture content. Studies to date have only examined each effect independently, although moisture interactions with pore walls are likely coupled to mechanical stress. Here, we present experimental data specifically collected in sandstone and granite under simultaneous control of cyclic ...

Thermomechanical processing of metallic glasses: Extending the range of the glassy state [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature. For crystalline metals, the science, technology and application of thermomechanical processing are established, but this is not true for glasses.

Deformation due to the 17 August 1999 Izmit, Turkey, earthquake measured from SPOT images [PDF]

, 2002
The geometry of the ruptured areas and the coseismic slip distribution data are key to highlighting the behavior of seismic faults. This information is generally retrieved from field investigations and geodetic measurements or synthetic aperture radar ...

To Heal or Not to Heal?: 2. The Moment–Recurrence Time Behavior of Repeating Earthquakes in the 2011 Prague, Oklahoma Aftershock Sequence Is Consistent With Laboratory Healing Rates

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The timing and failure conditions of an earthquake are governed by the interplay between fault reloading and restrengthening. The moment‐recurrence time behavior of repeating earthquakes can give observational estimates of fault healing rates; however, it is difficult to link these observed healing rates to laboratory studies of frictional ...

Finite Element Model of Branched Ruptures Including Off-Fault Plasticity [PDF]

, 2012
Fault intersections are a geometric complexity that frequently occurs in nature. Here we focus on earthquake rupture behavior when a continuous, planar main fault has a second fault branching off of it.

Resolving Coseismic and Aseismic Normal Fault Slip Behaviors From InSAR Time Series of the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS)

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Normal fault slip is regularly quantified for instantaneous seismic events and across geological timescales in rate‐and‐state friction frameworks. However, recent studies have shown that normal faults may undergo transient aseismic slip exceeding time‐averaged rates, outside of steady state conditions.

Nonuniform Transformation Field Analysis [PDF]

, 2003
The exact description of the overall behavior of composites with nonlinear dissipative phases requires an infinity of internal variables. Approximate models involving only a finite number of those can be obtained by considering a decomposition of the ...
