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:

4.06 – Mechanisms for Friction of Rock at Earthquake Slip Rates
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of weakening processes are proposed to cause substantial reductions of the coefficient of friction from its typical experimental value of 0.6 to 0.2 during coseismic slip.

Crack-like processes governing the onset of frictional slip
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed real-time measurements of the net contact area between two blocks of like material at the onset of frictional slip and showed that the process of interface detachment is governed by three different types of detachment fronts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling of fracture length and distributed damage
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model of the scaling of a fracture process and the onset of the dynamic events, showing that the process zone around a quasi-static crack has a self-similar shape identical to that predicted by universal scaling of the linear fracture mechanics.

Dynamic Stress Drop of Recent Earthquakes: Variations within Subduction Zones
TL;DR: In this paper, the amplitude and time of the initial peak in source time functions are inverted for dynamic stress drop, and the resulting estimates scatter between 0.1 and 100 MPa.

Ripplocations provide a new mechanism for the deformation of phyllosilicates in the lithosphere
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that conjugate delamination arrays are the result of elastic strain energy release due to the accumulation of layer-normal strain in ripplocations, and provides the missing mechanism necessary to understand phyllosilicate deformation.

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
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.
