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:

Advances in Understanding Hydrogel Lubrication
TL;DR: In this article, a viscous-adhesive model for hydrogel friction is proposed to account for the effects of confinement of the polymer network provided by a solid surface and poroelastic relaxation as well as the (non) Newtonian shear of a complex fluid on the frictional force.

Imaging Earthquake Source Complexity
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between two recent large earthquakes demonstrates that the quality and quantity of a data set is critical in the source imaging problem and that differences in each of these aspects can lead to significant differences among models for the same event.

The 1994 Java Tsunami earthquake and its Normal aftershocks
Jascha Polet,Hong Kie Thio +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the source spectra of the 1994 Java tsunami earthquake (MW = 7.9) and its two largest aftershocks, and explore two mechanisms that, in a simple Haskell rupture model, will decrease one of the corner frequencies of the source spectrum.

Energy budget and propagation of faults via shearing and opening using work optimization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present numerical models of faults propagating by work optimization in a homogeneous medium and compare the energy budgets of fault growth by shear versus tensile failure.

Injection-induced slip heterogeneity on faults in shale reservoirs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show the evolution of velocity-weakening zone on a simulated fault, derived from fluid injection and velocity stepped experiments, and the corresponding non-uniform fluid pressure distribution, recovered from coupled hydro-mechanical simulations.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Theoretical basis of some empirical relations in seismology
Hiroo Kanamori,Don L. Anderson +1 more
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.
