Normal fault earthquakes or graviquakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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]

open access: yesOceanography, 2014
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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.

Sensitivity of the Seismic Moment Released During Fluid Injection to Fault Hydromechanical Properties and Background Stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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.

Fault-tolerant scheme for robotic manipulator-Nonlinear robust back-stepping control with friction compensation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Emerging applications of autonomous robots requiring stability and reliability cannot afford component failure to achieve operational objectives. Hence, identification and countermeasure of a fault is of utmost importance in mechatronics community.

Study on the Nano-Friction Behavior of Nickel-Based Ag Film Composites Based on Molecular Dynamics

open access: yesLubricants, 2023
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

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2004
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

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
Characterizing the rheological properties of faults and the evolution of fault friction during seismic slip are fundamental problems in geology and seismology.
