A physical model for widespread near‐surface and fault zone damage induced by earthquakes
I present a rigorous unifying interpretation of the well‐documented widespread near‐surface and fault zone damage induced by earthquakes by simulating three‐dimensional dynamic rupture propagation on a vertical strike‐slip fault.

Single-Molecule Rupture Dynamics on Multidimensional Landscapes [PDF]
We explore emergent effects of multidimensionality of the free energy landscape on single-molecule kinetics under constant force. The proposed minimal model reveals the existence of a spectrum of unusual scenarios for the force-dependent lifetime, all of which are shown to occur on a free energy landscape with a single transition state.

Gel rupture in a dynamic environment
Hydrogels have had a profound impact in the fields of tissue engineering, drug delivery, and materials science as a whole. Due to the network architecture of these materials, imbibement with water often results in uniform swelling and isotropic expansion which scales with the degree of cross-linking. However, the development of internal stresses during

Predicting cesarean section and uterine rupture among women attempting vaginal birth after prior cesarean section [PDF]
<p><b>Background:</b> There is currently no validated method for antepartum prediction of the risk of failed vaginal birth after cesarean section and no information on the relationship between the risk of emergency cesarean delivery and

Laboratory earthquakes decipher control and stability of rupture speeds
Earthquakes are destructive natural hazards with damage capacity dictated by rupture speeds. Traditional dynamic rupture models predict that earthquake ruptures gradually accelerate to the Rayleigh wave speed with some of them further jumping to stable ...

Dynamic rupture scenarios on various fault geometries are studied extensively in the literature for domains with the planar top surface. However, landscapes on the earth, particularly in tectonic regimes, can undulate upwards or downwards depending on ...

Role of Weak Materials in Earthquake Rupture Dynamics [PDF]
AbstractWeak materials in seismic slip zones are important in studies of earthquake mechanics. For instance, the exceptionally large slip during the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake has been attributed to the presence of smectite in the fault zone. However, weak fault rocks cannot accumulate large amounts of elastic strain, which is thought to counter their ...
