Evidence for and implications of self-healing pulses of slip in earthquake rupture
TLDR
In this article, a qualitative model is presented that produces self-healing slip pulses, which is the key feature of the model is the assumption that friction on the fault surface is inversely related to the local slip velocity, and the model has the following features: high static strength of materials (kilobar range), low static stress drops (in the range of tens of bars).About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review experimental and microphysical modelling work aimed at elucidating the processes that control the transition from pervasive ductile flow of fault rock to rate-and-state dependent frictional (RSF) slip and to runaway rupture, carried out at Utrecht University in the past two or so decades.

Pulse-like, crack-like, and supershear earthquake ruptures with shear strain localization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors incorporate shear strain localization into spontaneous elastodynamic rupture simulations using a shear transformation zone (STZ) friction law, and investigate the effect of the dynamic weakening due to localization in generating pulse-like, crack-like and supershear rupture.

Analysis of slip‐weakening frictional laws with static restrengthening and their implications on the scaling, asymmetry, and mode of dynamic rupture on homogeneous and bimaterial interfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used modified slip-weakening frictional laws with static restrengthening to give rise to both crack-like and pulse-like rupture, and they provided benchmark tests of their method against other reported solutions.

The Determination of the Elastic Field of an Ellipsoidal Inclusion, and Related Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that to answer several questions of physical or engineering interest, it is necessary to know only the relatively simple elastic field inside the ellipsoid.

Tectonic stress and the spectra of seismic shear waves from earthquakes
TL;DR: In this paper, an earthquake model is derived by considering the effective stress available to accelerate the sides of the fault, and the model describes near and far-field displacement-time functions and spectra and includes the effect of fractional stress drop.

TL;DR: In this article, an empirical relation involving seismic moment M, energy E, magnitude M, and fault dimension L (or area S) is discussed on the basis of an extensive set of earthquake data (M_S ≧ 6) and simple crack and dynamic dislocation models.

Modeling of rock friction: 1. Experimental results and constitutive equations
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the strength of the population of points of contacts between sliding surfaces determines frictional strength and that the number of contacts changes continuously with displacements.
