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).

The Origin of Large, Long‐Period Near‐Fault Ground Velocities During Surface‐Breaking Strike‐Slip Earthquakes

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the origin of large velocity pulses observed during the 2016 Mw7.0 Kumamoto (Japan) earthquake and showed that these ground velocities are caused by the dynamic interaction of propagating rupture and the Earth's surface, which is enhanced by reflected waves from the boundaries of low-velocity layers.

Source characteristics of the Mw 6 Mutatá earthquake, Murindo seismic cluster, northwestern Colombia

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed moment tensor and kinematic slip distribution inversions to obtain absolute locations exhibiting a NW-SE oriented cloud, with the mainshock being located 8 km away from its original location and at a depth of 17.6 km.

Co‐Seismic Phase: Imaging the Seismic Rupture

Anders Uhlin
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explore the main types of data used today in seismic rupture imaging, and discuss the implications of slip models on the dynamics of seismic ruptures, and introduce the formulation to relate the earthquake source to surface observations.

The Spatial Relationship Between Contemporaneous Tremor Detections in Relatively Low- and High-Frequency Bands

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the source of some of the longer-period signals of unknown origin in tremor events and propose a method to identify the origin of these signals.

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

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.
