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).

Single-Couple Component of Far-Field Radiation from Dynamical Fractures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reexamine two canons of the seismological literature, that elastic displacements in the far field are proportional to slip velocities on the dynamical fault surface, and that dynamical in-plane slip on an earthquake fault has a double-couple body force equivalent.

Early Holocene Greenland-ice mass loss likely triggered earthquakes and tsunami

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Crafoord Research Grant to investigate the effect of artificial neural networks on the performance of the human brain on human decision-making process in the field of artificial intelligence.

Steadily propagating slip pulses driven by thermal decomposition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the role of thermal decomposition during dynamic rupture, and showed that thermal decompposition leads to longer slip durations, larger total slips, and a distinctive along-fault slip rate profile.

4.07 – Slip Inversion

TL;DR: Slip inversion is a widely used analysis method using seismic and/or geodetic data, which determines the spatial and temporal distribution of fault slip, namely a slip model.

A novel method of reducing the acoustic emission wave reflected by boundary based on acoustic black hole.

TL;DR: Results show that the acoustic black hole (ABH) is a candidate tool to reduce the reflected AE wave on the boundary and obtain the high Signal‐Noise Ratio (SNR) direct AE wave.

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.

Theoretical basis of some empirical relations in seismology

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.
