Traces Of Laboratory Earthquake Nucleation In The Spectrum Of Ambient Noise. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractThe short-term forecast of earthquakes associated with fault rupture is a challenge in seismology and rock mechanics. The evolution of mechanical characteristics of a local fault segment may be encoded in the ambient noise, thus, converting the ambient noise to an efficient source of information about the fault stress-strain conditions.

Effect of Fluid Viscosity on Earthquake Nucleation [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractInjection of fluids in geo‐reservoirs can reduce the effective stresses at depth, lubricating the nearby faults, promoting slip and, potentially, earthquakes. High‐viscous fluids are often used during hydraulic fracturing and production phases in geo‐reservoirs.

Earthquake simulations with time-dependent nucleation and long-range interactions [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 1995 A model for rapid simulation of earthquake sequences is introduced which incorporates long-range elastic interactions among fault elements and time-dependent earthquake nucleation inferred from experimentally derived rate- and state-dependent fault ...

Earthquake Research AdvancesEarthquakes are caused by the rapid slip along seismogenic faults. Whether large or small, there is inevitably a certain nucleation process involved before the dynamic rupture.

Frictional healing and induced earthquakes on conventionally stable faults [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsConventional studies suggest that faults in the shallow subsurface resist earthquake nucleation, because their frictional strength increases as slip accelerates (i.e., velocity-strengthening friction).

Earthquake nucleation on dip-slip faults [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2004 The nucleation of unstable slip on a fault is of key importance in our understanding of the seismic cycle. We investigate how the asymmetric geometry of dip‐slip faults affects the nucleation of unstable slip on such faults. Previous researchers have devoted much effort to understanding this nucleation process on geometrically simple faults, using a ...

An electrochemical hypothesis of earthquakes exploring a theoretical link between radiated seismic energy and Pourbaix potential [PDF]
Scientific ReportsEarthquakes are measured using well-defined seismic parameters such as seismic moment ( $$M_o$$ ), moment magnitude ( $$M_w$$ ), and released elastic energy (E).

Earthquake Nucleation Processes Across Different Scales and Settings [PDF]
, 2020 Extended nucleation phases of earthquakes have been regularly observed, yet the underlying mechanisms governing the initiation phase of rupture are yet to be understood in detail.
