Off-fault deformation feedback and strain localization precursor during laboratory earthquakes [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Recent large-scale seismological observations have shown that off-fault strain localization and foreshock migration could serve as an early warning of an impending earthquake. However, this process is still largely unknown.

Implications of a percolation model for earthquake ‘nucleation’ [PDF]

open access: bronzeGeophysical Journal International, 1998
A percolation model is applied to the explanation of some of the qualitative and quantitative aspects associated with the recent observations of earthquake ‘nucleation’. An additional assumption is introduced that nucleation starts at the critical point of percolation.

An electrochemical hypothesis of earthquakes exploring a theoretical link between radiated seismic energy and Pourbaix potential [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Earthquakes are measured using well-defined seismic parameters such as seismic moment ( $$M_o$$ ), moment magnitude ( $$M_w$$ ), and released elastic energy (E).

Nucleation Mechanism and Rupture Dynamics of Laboratory Earthquakes at Different Loading Rates

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
The loading rate of tectonic stress is not constant during long-term geotectonic activity and significantly affects the earthquake nucleation and fault rupture process. However, the mechanism underlying the loading rate effect is still unclear.

Sensitivity limits for strain detection of hypothetical remote fluid-induced earthquakes (Mw ≥ 4): a case study in Taiwan

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Capturing and quantifying the timing of remotely triggered earthquakes and understanding the physical processes responsible for this delay represent major challenges in earthquake forecasting.

Dynamic nucleation as a cascade-up of earthquakes depending on rupture propagation velocity

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
Earthquake dynamic rupture requires a nucleation process to provide sufficient energy to overcome the fracture energy. Large earthquakes may occur via a cascading rupture process, which includes many triggering processes that cascade from small to large ...

Stochastic Properties of Static Friction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The onset of frictional motion is mediated by rupture-like slip fronts, which nucleate locally and propagate eventually along the entire interface causing global sliding.

High‐Rate Fluid Injection Reduces the Nucleation Length of Laboratory Earthquakes on Critically Stressed Faults in Granite

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
We conducted fluid injection experiments on cylindrical low‐permeability granite samples with a critically stressed sawcut fault at local injection rates of 0.2 and 0.8 mL/min and confining pressures of 31 and 61 MPa.
