Spectral-element modeling of spontaneous earthquake rupture on rate and state faults: Effect of velocity-strengthening friction at shallow depths [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We develop a spectral-element methodology (SEM) for simulating dynamic rupture on rate and state faults and use it to study how the rupture is affected by a shallow fault region of steady-state velocity-strengthening friction.

Largest Aftershock Nucleation Driven by Afterslip During the 2014 Iquique Sequence

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Various earthquake models predict that aseismic slip modulates the seismic rupture process but actual observations of such seismic‐aseismic interaction are scarce.

The influence of normal stress and sliding velocity on the frictional behaviour of calcite at room temperature. Insights from laboratory experiments and microstructural observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The presence of calcite in and near faults, as the dominant material, cement, or vein fill, indicates that the mechanical behaviour of carbonate-dominated material likely plays an important role in shallow- and mid-crustal faulting. To better understand

Slip weakening, strain and short-termpreseismic disturbances

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2004
The problem of short-term earthquake precursors is discussed. In contrast to the increasing number of reports on short-lived precursors of various types, direct strain measurements cannot detect clearly expressed preseismic anomalies, as follows from the

Earthquake simulations with time-dependent nucleation and long-range interactions [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear 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 ...

“Bristle-State” Friction: Modeling Slip Initiation and Transient Frictional Evolution From High-Velocity Earthquake Rupture Experiments

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Fracture mechanics theory and seismological observations suggest that slip-rate is constantly changing during earthquake rupture, including dramatic acceleration from static conditions to high velocity sliding followed by deceleration and arrest.

Slip Model of the 2020 Yutian (Northwestern Tibetan Plateau) Earthquake Derived From Joint Inversion of InSAR and Teleseismic Data

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and teleseismic P‐wave data were combined to investigate the source rupture characteristics of the 2020 Mw 6.3 Yutian, China, earthquake.

Observation of a Synchronicity between Shallow and Deep Seismic Activities during the Foreshock Crisis Preceding the Iquique Megathrust Earthquake

open access: yesSeismica, 2023
We analyze at a broad spatial scale the slab seismicity during one of the longest and best recorded foreshock sequence of a subduction earthquake to date: the M8.1 2014 Iquique earthquake in Chile.

Faults Self-Organized by Repeated Earthquakes in a Quasi-Static Antiplane Crack Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
We study a 2D quasi-static discrete {\it crack} anti-plane model of a tectonic plate with long range elastic forces and quenched disorder. The plate is driven at its border and the load is transfered to all elements through elastic forces. This model can

Stability of pulse-like earthquake ruptures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Pulse-like ruptures arise spontaneously in many elastodynamic rupture simulations and seem to be the dominant rupture mode along crustal faults. Pulse-like ruptures propagating under steady-state conditions can be efficiently analysed theoretically, but ...
