Asperity‐Driven Cascading Rupture of a Mw 1.6 Induced Microearthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Studies of small earthquake (M < 2) rupture processes traditionally rely on simplified models that assume symmetric slip or point sources. Using an exceptionally dense seismic network and empirical Green's function (EGF) analysis, we investigate the complex rupture of a Mw 1.6 microearthquake induced by hydraulic fracturing.

Laboratory earthquakes decipher control and stability of rupture speeds

Nature Communications, 2023
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 ...

A damage model based on failure threshold weakening

, 2010
A variety of studies have modeled the physics of material deformation and damage as examples of generalized phase transitions, involving either critical phenomena or spinodal nucleation.

How frictional ruptures and earthquakes nucleate and evolve

Nature
Frictional motion is mediated by rapidly propagating ruptures that detach the ensemble of contacts forming the frictional interface between contacting bodies1-7. These ruptures are similar to shear cracks. When this process takes place in natural faults, these rapid ruptures are essentially earthquakes8,9. Although fracture mechanics describe the rapid

Foreshocks, aftershocks, and static stress triggering of the 2020 Mw 4.8 Mentone Earthquake in west Texas

Seismica
Foreshocks are the most obvious signature of the earthquake nucleation stage and could, in principle, forewarn of an impending earthquake. However, foreshocks are only sometimes observed, and we have a limited understanding of the physics that controls ...

Partial Ruptures, Cascading Multi‐Fault Ruptures, and Aftershocks in 2D Random Fault Network

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The Gutenberg‐Richter law for the distribution of earthquake magnitude and the Omori law for the decay of aftershocks are two universal laws in seismicity. Although numerical models have been developed to reproduce these laws, they sometimes produce many more foreshocks and fewer aftershocks than observed.

Ground deformation and source geometry of the 30 October 2016 Mw 6.5 Norcia earthquake (Central Italy) investigated through seismological data, DInSAR measurements, and numerical modelling [PDF]

, 2018
We investigate the Mw 6.5 Norcia (Central Italy) earthquake by exploiting seismological data, DInSAR measurements, and a numerical modelling approach. In particular, we first retrieve the vertical component (uplift and subsidence) of the displacements ...

Seismicity acceleration and clustering before the 2015 Mw 7.9 Gorkha earthquake, Nepal

Seismica
In the last decade, several observations of peculiar seismic and geodetic phases preceding large earthquakes have been documented. Despite being a posteriori, these observations provide a better understanding of the processes involved in the nucleation ...

Earthquakes: from chemical alteration to mechanical rupture

, 1998
In the standard rebound theory of earthquakes, elastic deformation energy is progressively stored in the crust until a threshold is reached at which it is suddenly released in an earthquake.
