Geologic Slip‐Rate Determinations on the Talas‐Fergana Fault: Mismatch With Geodetic Slip Rate [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
AbstractDetailed new paleoseismic field investigations at two sites on the Talas‐Fergana fault, a poorly known strike‐slip structure that transects the Tien Shan mountain range, document late Holocene slip rates of 11–16 mm a−1. This prominent structure is distinctive in striking obliquely NW‐SE across the Tien Shan, which is otherwise dominated by ...

Slip-rate-dependent friction as a universal mechanism for slow slip events [PDF]

Nature Geoscience, 2020
A growing body of observations worldwide has documented fault slip transients that radiate little or no seismic energy. The mechanisms that govern these slow slip events (SSEs) and their wide range of depths, slip rates, durations, stress drops and recurrence intervals remain poorly known.

Mesoscopic modeling of heterogeneous boundary conditions for microchannel flows [PDF]

, 2005
We present a mesoscopic model of the fluid-wall interactions for flows in microchannel geometries. We define a suitable implementation of the boundary conditions for a discrete version of the Boltzmann equations describing a wall-bounded single phase ...

Slip rate and slip magnitudes of past earthquakes along the Bogd left-lateral strike-slip fault (Mongolia) [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2011
We carried out morphotectonic studies along the left-lateral strike-slip Bogd Fault, the principal structure involved in the Gobi-Altay earthquake of 1957 December 4 (published magnitudes range from 7.8 to 8.3). The Bogd Fault is 260 km long and can be subdivided into five main geometric segments, based on variation in strike direction.

Effect of Pressure Rate on Rate and State Frictional Slip

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Abstract This paper analyzes the effects of pore pressure rate for a spring‐block system that is a simple model of a laboratory experiment. Pore pressure is increased at a constant rate in a remote reservoir, and slip is governed by rate and state friction.

Molecular dynamics simulations of oscillatory Couette flows with slip boundary conditions [PDF]

, 2012
The effect of interfacial slip on steady-state and time-periodic flows of monatomic liquids is investigated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.

Interseismic strain accumulation: Spin-up, cycle invariance, and irregular rupture sequences [PDF]

, 2006
Using models of infinite length strike-slip faults in an elastic layer above linear viscoelastic regions, we investigate interseismic deformation. In the models we investigate, interseismic strain accumulation on mature faults is the result of the ...

Slip rate and tremor genesis in Cascadia [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2014
AbstractAt many plate boundaries, conditions in the transition zone between seismogenic and stable slip produce slow earthquakes. In the Cascadia subduction zone, these events are consistently observed as slow, aseismic slip on the plate interface accompanied by persistent tectonic tremor.

Implications of a 20-Hz Booster cycle-rate for Slip-stacking [PDF]

, 2014
We examine the potential impacts to slip-stacking from a change of the Booster cycle-rate from 15- to 20-Hz. We find that changing the Booster cycle-rate to 20-Hz would greatly increase the slip-stacking bucket area, while potentially requiring greater ...

Self-similar slip pulses during rate-and-state earthquake nucleation [PDF]

, 2009
For a wide range of conditions, earthquake nucleation zones on rate- and state-dependent faults that obey either of the popular state evolution laws expand as they accelerate. Under the “slip” evolution law, which experiments show to be the more relevant
