Nucleation and Arrest of Dynamic Rupture Induced by Reservoir Depletion [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019
Seismic events induced by the depletion of hydrocarbon reservoirs can cause damage to housing and cause societal and economic unrest. However, the factors controlling the nucleation and size of production-induced seismic events are not well understood ...

Landers 1992 “Reloaded”: Integrative Dynamic Earthquake Rupture Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019
The 1992 $M_w$ 7.3 Landers earthquake is perhaps one of the best studied seismic events. However, many aspects of the dynamics of the rupture process are still puzzling, e.g. how did rupture transfer between fault segments?

Rupture dynamics in model polymer systems

Soft Matter, 2016
In this paper we explore the rupture dynamics of a model polymer system to capture the microscopic mechanism during relative motion of surfaces at the single polymer level. Our model is similar to the model for friction introduced by Filippov, Klafter, and Urbakh [Filippov et al., Phys. Rev.

Dynamic rupture activation of backthrust fault branching

open access: yesTectonophysics, 2015
We perform dynamic rupture simulations to investigate the possible reactivation of backthrust branches triggered by ruptures along a main thrust fault. Simulations with slip-weakening fault friction and uniform initial stress show that fast propagation ...

Rupture Dynamics of Macromolecules

2013
In a series of studies we consider the breakage of a polymer chain of segments, coupled by anharmonic bonds under applied tensional force or subject to rise in temperature. The chain dynamics at the onset of fracture is studied by means of Molecular Dynamics simulation and also using analytic considerations.A deeper insight into the changes in polymer ...

Molecular dynamics of interface rupture

Physics of Fluids A: Fluid Dynamics, 1993
Several situations have been studied in which a fluid–vapor or fluid–fluid interface ruptures, using molecular dynamics simulations of 3000 to 20 000 Lennard-Jones molecules in three dimensions. The cases studied are the Rayleigh instability of a liquid thread, the burst of a liquid drop immersed in a second liquid undergoing shear, and the rupture of ...

On the scale dependence in the dynamics of rupture

2021
<p>Potential energy stored during the inter-seismic period by tectonic loading around faults can be released through earthquakes as radiated energy, heat and rupture energy. The latter is of first importance, since it controls both the nucleation and the propagation of the seismic rupture.

The dynamics of rupture in porous media

pure and applied geophysics, 1991
This paper presents a laboratory investigation of electric resistivity parameter for samples subject to loading in automatic press of “INOVA” type. The procedure of automatic quasi-continuous measurements of resistivity is briefly outlined. The distribution of mini-electrodes within the sample is described. Also shown is the manner in which reliability

On the Scale Dependence in the Dynamics of Frictional Rupture.

2021
When an earthquake nucleates in the earth crust, the potential energy accumulated during the inter-seismic period is released into breakdown work, heat energy and radiated energy. Often the breakdown work is considered a seismological equivalent of the fracture energy. However, discrepancies related to the definition of the two are not yet fully solved.
