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).

Estimation of near-source ground motions from a teleseismically derived rupture model of the 1989 Loma Prieta, California, earthquake

TL;DR: In this article, a deterministic approach is used in the simulation of near-source ground motion with both the synthetic and aftershock Green9s functions, and the effectiveness of both synthetic and empirical (aftershock) Green 9s functions is evaluated in terms of velocity response spectra over the period range from 0.1 to 10 sec.

A Dislocation-based Model for the Dynamics of Sliding Precursors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the dynamics of sliding precursors by solving the elastic problem due to a moving dislocation in a halfplane and the transient emission of a dislocation at the edge.

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.
