Journal ArticleDOI
A cohesive zone model for dynamic shear faulting based on experimentally inferred constitutive relation and strong motion source parameters
Mitiyasu Ohnaka,Teruo Yamashita +1 more
TL;DR: A physically reasonable relation between cohesive stress τ and slip displacement D, τ = (τi − τd)[1 + α log (1 + βD)] exp (−ηD) + τd, is put forward to describe dynamic breakdown processes during earthquake source failure in quantitative terms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models of aftershock occurrence
Teruo Yamashita,Leon Knopoff +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Omori formula for aftershocks was shown to be a consequence of each of two models of a complex earthquake, in which the first model describes after-shocks are caused by subsequent slip on asperities of a fault which are locked during the fracture in the main shock, and the second model is caused by catastrophic coalescence of nearby small fractures with the fracture surface of the main fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pore Creation due to Fault Slip in a Fluid-permeated Fault Zone and its Effect on Seismicity: Generation Mechanism of Earthquake Swarm
TL;DR: In this article, the effective stress principle coupled with the Coulomb failure criterion introduces mechanical coupling between fault slip and pore fluid, and the authors show that the duration of the earthquake sequence is considerably shorter than the recurrence period of characteristic events on the fault.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of the spontaneous growth of a dynamic crack without constraints on the crack tip path
Nobuki Kame,Teruo Yamashita +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spontaneous growth of a dynamic in-plane shear crack is simulated using a newly developed method of analysis in which no a priori constraint is required for the crack tip path, unlike in other classical studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation of microcracks by dynamic shear rupture and its effects on rupture growth and elastic wave radiation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors numerically study how tensile microcracks are generated and how dynamic growth of a macroscopic shear rupture and near-field elastic waves are affected by the distribution of generated micro-cracks.
