A Struggled Rupture Initiation of the Mw 6.1 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Understanding under which physical conditions large earthquakes begin, is a key question in Earth science. Laboratory experiments and numerical models have shown that earthquake nucleation has distinct phases: a quasi‐static and an acceleration stage ...

Nucleation process of the 2011 northern Nagano earthquake from nearby seismic observations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The 2011 magnitude (M) 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake was followed by seismicity activation in inland areas throughout Japan. An outstanding case is the M6.2 Northern Nagano earthquake, central Japan, occurred 13-h after the megathrust event, approximately ...

Probabilistic prediction of rate‐dependent rock strength using natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Probabilistic natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression models accurately predict rate‐dependent rock strength across lithologies. Static strength and strain rate dominate, while geometric factors have minimal influence, enabling interpretable and uncertainty‐aware predictions for dynamic geomechanical applications. Abstract The dynamic

Evidence of Localized Failure Along Altered Basaltic Blocks in Tectonic Mélange at the Updip Limit of the Seismogenic Zone: Implications for the Shallow Slow Earthquake Source

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Field studies have led to several interpretations on the mechanics behind slow earthquake phenomena downdip of the seismogenic zone. To date, field studies have not examined the shallow subduction interface which may also host slow earthquake phenomena ...

Hydromechanical Earthquake Nucleation Model Forecasts Onset, Peak, and Falling Rates of Induced Seismicity in Oklahoma and Kansas

open access: yes, 2018
The earthquake activity in Oklahoma and Kansas that began in 2008 reflects the most widespread instance of induced seismicity observed to date. We develop a reservoir model to calculate the hydrologic conditions associated with the activity of 902 ...

Modeling proppant transport and settling in a 3D propagating fracture

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A versatile multiphysics tool is presented for simulating the complex processes involved in hydraulic fracturing treatments. The model couples fracture opening and propagation, variable‐density slurry flow, and proppant particle transport within the multiphysics object‐oriented simulation environment framework, based on two‐phase mixture equations and ...

Optimized Traffic Light System with AIC and Application to the 2021 M6.7 Yangbi Earthquake Sequence

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
One important question in earthquake prediction is whether a moderate or large earthquake will be followed by an even bigger one. Through temporal b-value evolution analysis, the traffic light system can be used to estimate if an earthquake is a ...

Nanoscale fracture mechanisms in defective α‐quartz induced by compression: Insights from molecular dynamics simulation

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Rock fracture can ultimately be traced to atomic bond breakage. Taking quartz as a representative mineral, this paper employs molecular dynamics to identify the crack initiation and propagation mechanisms for single‐hole cases, as well as crack coalescence modes between double holes under compression, providing a physical basis for multiscale modeling ...

The global earthquake history

open access: yes, 2014
The study of earthquakes from historical sources, or historical seismology, was considered an early priority for the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) project, which commissioned a study of historical seismicity on a global scale.
