Three-dimensional dynamic rupture simulation with a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method on unstructured tetrahedral meshes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 2012
Accurate and efficient numerical methods to simulate dynamic earthquake rupture and wave propagation in complex media and complex fault geometries are needed to address fundamental questions in earthquake dynamics, to integrate seismic and geodetic data ...

Spectral-element modeling of spontaneous earthquake rupture on rate and state faults: Effect of velocity-strengthening friction at shallow depths [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We develop a spectral-element methodology (SEM) for simulating dynamic rupture on rate and state faults and use it to study how the rupture is affected by a shallow fault region of steady-state velocity-strengthening friction.

Dynamic fault rupture processes of moderate-size earthquakes inferred from the results of kinematic waveform inversion

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1994
Several attempts have been made recently to infer the dynamic rupture processes of moderate-size earthquakes from kinematic waveform inversion and dynamic crack inversion.

A Struggled Rupture Initiation of the Mw 6.1 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Understanding under which physical conditions large earthquakes begin, is a key question in Earth science. Laboratory experiments and numerical models have shown that earthquake nucleation has distinct phases: a quasi‐static and an acceleration stage ...

Properties of Dynamic Earthquake Ruptures With Heterogeneous Stress Drop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Earthquake rupture is a notoriously complex process, at all observable scales. We introduce a simplified semi-dynamic crack model to investigate the connection between the statistical properties of stress and those of macroscopic source parameters ...

Dynamic Rupture Simulations of the M6.4 and M7.1 July 2019 Ridgecrest, California, Earthquakes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
The largest earthquakes of the 2019 Ridgecrest, California, sequence were a M6.4 left‐lateral rupture followed 34 hr later by a M7.1 on a perpendicular right‐lateral fault.

On the nonlinear dynamics of rupture [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear 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.

Rupture Termination in Laboratory‐Generated Earthquakes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
Earthquakes are dynamic rupture events that initiate, propagate, and terminate on faults within the Earth's crust. Understanding rupture termination is essential for accurately estimating the maximum magnitude earthquake a region might experience.

Rupture of a biomembrane under dynamic surface tension [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2012
How long a fluid membrane vesicle stressed with a steady ramp of micropipette last before rupture? Or conversely, how high the surface tension should be to rupture a membrane? To answer these challenging questions we have developed a theoretical framework that allows description and reproduction of Dynamic Tension Spectroscopy (DTS) observations.
