Stochastic Properties of Static Friction [PDF]
The onset of frictional motion is mediated by rupture-like slip fronts, which nucleate locally and propagate eventually along the entire interface causing global sliding.

Slip distributions on intersecting normal faults
Abstract Slip distributions on normal faults often are asymmetric and display multiple local maxima. Numerically computed slip distributions from elastic models indicate that such irregular slip distributions can be caused by mechanical interaction between intersecting faults that produce local perturbations of the stress field resolved on the faults.

Distribution of strike‐slip faults on Europa [PDF]
Study of four different regions on Europa imaged by the Galileo spacecraft during its first 15 orbits has revealed 117 strike‐slip faults. Europa appears to form preferentially right‐lateral faults in the southern hemisphere and left‐lateral faults in the northern hemisphere.

Sensitivity Analysis for Seafloor Geodetic Constraints on Coseismic Slip and Interseismic Slip-Deficit Distributions [PDF]
Estimating the coseismic slip distribution and interseismic slip-deficit distribution play an important role in understanding the mechanism of massive earthquakes and predicting the resulting damage. It is useful to observe the crustal deformation not only in the land area, but also directly above the seismogenic zone.

Earthquake slip distribution: A statistical model [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to interpret slip statistics in a framework of extended earthquake sources. We first discuss deformation pattern of the Earth's surface from earthquakes and suggest that continuum versus block motion controversy can be reconciled by a model of the fractal distribution of seismic sources.

On 28 August 2009, the northern margin of the Qaidam basin in the Tibet Plateau was ruptured by an Mw 6.3 earthquake. This study utilizes the Envisat ASAR images from descending Track 319 and ascending Track 455 for capturing the coseismic deformation ...

Relation between stress heterogeneity and aftershock rate in the rate-and-state model [PDF]
We estimate the rate of aftershocks triggered by a heterogeneous stress change, using the rate-and-state model of Dieterich [1994].We show that an exponential stress distribution Pt(au) ~exp(-tautau_0) gives an Omori law decay of aftershocks with time ~1/

A multi-phase field model of planar dislocation networks [PDF]
In this paper we extend the phase-field model of crystallographic slip of Ortiz (1999 J. Appl. Mech. ASME 66 289–98) and Koslowski et al (2001 J. Mech. Phys.

Mechanical noise dependent Aging and Shear Banding behavior of a mesoscopic model of amorphous plasticity [PDF]
We discuss aging and localization in a simple "Eshelby" mesoscopic model of amorphous plasticity. Plastic deformation is assumed to occur through a series of local reorganizations.
