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.

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.

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 ...

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

Tektonika, 2023 Earthquake hazard assessments rely on observations from the field and geophysical data that provide fault slip rate estimates at specific sites and inform the geometry of active faults; however, uncertainty remains for both slip rate and geometry ...
