Normal fault earthquakes or graviquakes [PDF]
Earthquakes are dissipation of energy throughout elastic waves. Canonically is the elastic energy accumulated during the interseismic period. However, in crustal extensional settings, gravity is the main energy source for hangingwall fault collapsing ...

Investigation of the Huge Tsunami from the 2011 Tōhoku-Oki, Japan, Earthquake Using Ocean Floor Boreholes to the Fault Zone [PDF]
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 343, named the Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (JFAST), drilled ocean floor boreholes through the fault zone of the 2011 Tōhoku-Oki earthquake (M9.0) to enhance understanding of the rupture process ...

The role of fluid pressure in induced vs. triggered seismicity. Insights from rock deformation experiments on carbonates [PDF]
Fluid overpressure is one of the primary mechanisms for tectonic fault slip, because fluids lubricate the fault and fluid pressure reduces the effective normal stress that holds the fault in place.

Fluid pressure perturbations in subsurface rocks affect the fault stability and can induce both seismicity and aseismic slip. Nonetheless, observations show that the partitioning between aseismic and seismic fault slip during fluid injection may strongly

Post-seismic and interseismic fault creep I: model description [PDF]
We present a model of localized, aseismic fault creep during the full interseismic period, including both transient and steady fault creep, in response to a sequence of imposed coseismic slip events and tectonic loading.

Study on the Nano-Friction Behavior of Nickel-Based Ag Film Composites Based on Molecular Dynamics
The nano-friction behavior of nickel-based Ag film composites was evaluated using molecular dynamics simulations. The mechanical properties, the surface morphology, the migration behavior of Ag atoms and the defect evolution during repeated friction were

Stick-slip nucleation triggering of Wenchuan earthquake
The MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake occurred on May 12th, 2008 on the steeply reverse fault of the Longmen Shan fault zone, Western China. Catastrophic failure and rupture occurred along the listric sliding surface.

Stress transfer and strain rate variations during the seismic cycle [PDF]
The balance of forces implies stress transfers during the seismic cycle between the elastobrittle upper crust and the viscoelastic lower crust. This could induce observable time variations of crustal straining in the interseismic period.

Inferring Fault Frictional and Reservoir Hydraulic Properties From Injection‐Induced Seismicity
Characterizing the rheological properties of faults and the evolution of fault friction during seismic slip are fundamental problems in geology and seismology.
