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:

Observational constraints on the fracture energy of subduction zone earthquakes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared seismic parameters such as radiated energy, seismic moment, rupture area, and rupture speed to the dynamics of faulting, and determined the rupture speed of these earthquakes from literature.

Fault rupture between dissimilar materials: Ill-posedness, regularization, and slip-pulse response
Alain Cochard,James R. Rice +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in the unstable range the numerical solutions do not converge through grid size reduction, whereas in the stable range, only dying pulses are then observed.

Earthquake Failure Sequences Along a Cellular Fault Zone in a Three-Dimensional Elastic Solid Containing Asperity and Nonasperity Regions
Yehuda Ben-Zion,James R. Rice +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D model of the central San Andreas fault is presented, and the authors show that a single cell size, representing approximately a single scale of geometric disorder, cannot induce self-similarity in a 3-D elastic model over a broad range of magnitudes.

Do faults preserve a record of seismic slip: A second opinion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the criteria for seismic slip defined by Cowan and determine that they are too narrow, and conclude that seismic slip at rates in the range 10−4−101 ǫm/s is almost certainly dynamic.

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.
