Slip rate and tremor genesis in Cascadia [PDF]
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.

Slip-rate-dependent friction as a universal mechanism for slow slip events [PDF]
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
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. The frequency of rapid slip events increases with the increase of a nondimensional pressure rate that is

The activity of blind thrust faults drives fold deformation of overlying strata, leading the folds to be geometrically related to the underlying blind thrust faults.

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 ...

The Haiyuan fault zone is an important tectonic boundary and strong seismic activity belt in northeastern Tibet, but no major earthquake has occurred in the past ∼100 years, since the Haiyuan M8.5 event in 1920.

Plastic Slip Patterns through Rate-Independent and Rate-Dependent Plasticity
Plastic deformation induces various types of dislocation microstructures at different length scales, which eventually results in a heterogeneous deformation field in metallic materials. Development of such structures manifests themselves as macroscopic hardening/softening response and plastic anisotropy during strain path changes, which is often ...

Because of the constant northward movement of the Indian plate and blockage of the Eurasian continent, the Qinghai−Tibet Plateau has been extruded by north−south compressive stresses since its formation.

Rate-dependent slip boundary conditions for simple fluids [PDF]
The dynamic behavior of the slip length in a fluid flow confined between atomically smooth surfaces is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. At weak wall-fluid interactions, the slip length increases nonlinearly with the shear rate provided that the liquid/solid interface forms incommensurable structures. A gradual transition to the linear
