Stress-mediated multi-fault rupture dynamics of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake sequence, Türkiye [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe 2023 Kahramanmaraş (M7.8) and Elbistan (M7.6) earthquakes in Türkiye provide a profound case study in multi-fault rupture dynamics. We update a pre-existing Coulomb stress model¹ to analyse the historical and immediatestress conditions that caused ...

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

Simultaneous Rupture Propagation Through Fault Bifurcation of the 2021 Mw7.4 Maduo Earthquake
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Fault geometric complexity plays a critical role in earthquake rupture dimension. Fault bifurcations are commonly observed in earthquake geology, yet, robust kinematic rupture processes on bifurcated fault branches are largely missing, limiting our ...

Rupture-dependent breakdown energy in fault models with thermo-hydro-mechanical processes [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 Substantial insight into earthquake source processes has resulted from considering frictional ruptures analogous to cohesive-zone shear cracks from fracture mechanics.
