Dynamic restrengthening and fault heterogeneity explain megathrust earthquake complexity [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMegathrusts host Earth’s largest earthquakes. Understanding the physical conditions controlling their rupture dynamics is critical for assessing seismic and tsunami hazards.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 The 2016 Kaikoura (New Zealand) earthquake is characterized as one of the most complex multifault rupture events ever observed. We perform dynamic rupture simulations to evaluate to what extent relatively simple forward models accounting for realistic ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 We considered various non‐uniformities such as branch faults, rotation of stress field directions, and changes in tectonic environments to simulate the dynamic rupture process of the 6 February 2023 Mw 7.8 Kahramanmaraş earthquake in SE Türkiye.

On the nonlinear dynamics of rupture [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 1998 Abstract. The rupture on a fault resulting in an earthquake is clearly a complex process. In order to better understand this process the continuum version of the slider-block model has been considered in some detail. In particular, the role of a cohesive breakaway zone is considered.

The Dynamics of Elongated Earthquake Ruptures [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019 AbstractThe largest earthquakes propagate laterally after saturating the fault's seismogenic width and reach large length‐to‐width ratiosL/W. Smaller earthquakes can also develop elongated ruptures due to confinement by heterogeneities of initial stresses or material properties. The energetics of such elongated ruptures is radically different from that

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 We use 3D dynamic rupture simulations to discover a previously un‐described effect of asymmetric topography on the earthquake process. With the Cajon Pass along the San Andreas Fault as an example, we find that asymmetric topography generates an ...

Gel rupture during dynamic swelling
Soft Matter, 2021 A complex, three-stage fracture process is described for hydrogels, resulting in material failure. This process is markedly different than that observed in brittle materials, and we describe how this process varies with network architecture.

Dynamic earthquake rupture in the lower crust [PDF]
Science Advances, 2019 A lower crustal earthquake is initiated by dynamic rupturing with fragmentation of wall rock that precedes frictional melting.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Despite decades‐long debate over the mechanics of low‐angle normal faults (LANFs) dipping less than 30°, many questions about their strength, stress, and slip remain unresolved.
