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).

A Comparative Study of Source Complexity of Two Moderate-Sized Earthquakes in Southern Taiwan: 2016 Mw6.4 and 2010 Mw6.2 Earthquakes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the complex rupture history of the 2016 Mw6.4 Meinong earthquake and the 2010 Mw 6.2 Jiaxian earthquake in southern Taiwan by simultaneously inverting near-field strong-motion records, local and teleseismic broadband waveforms along with long-period surface waves.

An Analytic Study of Frictional Effect on Slip Pulses of Earthquakes

Jeen-Hwa Wang
- 13 Dec 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the existence of a pulse-like oscillation at a site for the two types of friction was investigated and it was shown that when the slip pulse propagates in advance along the fault and when w o and g increase, there is a crack-like rupture for VW friction.

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.
