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:

Doubly Stochastic Earthquake Source Model: "Omega-Square" Spectrum and Low High-Frequency Directivity Revealed by Numerical Experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a doubly stochastic model of the earthquake source spectrum, where the authors incorporated both into the final structure of the fault and into the mode of rupture propagation.

Slow wave propagation in soft adhesive interfaces.
TL;DR: A theoretical analysis of the propagation of these three waves in a linear elastodynamics framework provides a unified picture of stick-slip dynamics and slow wave propagation in adhesive contacts, consistent with experimental observations.

Scaling seismic fault thickness from the laboratory to the field
Thomas P. Ferrand,Thomas P. Ferrand,Thomas P. Ferrand,Stefan Nielsen,Loïc Labrousse,Alexandre Schubnel +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the pseudotachylyte thickness scales with the relative displacement D both at the laboratory and field scales, for measured slip varying from microns to meters, over six orders of magnitude, and a bend appears in the scaling relationship when slip and thickness reach ∼1 mm and 100 µm, respectively.

Nucleation and Propagation of Quasi-Static Interfacial Slip Pulses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report thorough experimental characterization of the nucleation and stationary propagation of self-healing slip pulses at a gel/glass interface under constant stress loading and show that the slip front can be nucleated heterogeneously at the edges of the contact or homogeneously inside it.

The damage zone of New Zealand's Alpine Fault
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the mechanical and chemical processes associated with fault damage, which strongly condition the short and long term evolution of a fault, and demonstrate that the damage zone is epitomised by gouge-filled ‘phyllosilicate-enriched’ fractures.

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.
