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:

The Role of Mineral Composition on the Frictional and Stability Properties of Powdered Reservoir Rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to solve the problem of energy minimization in the context of artificial neural networks, which was later adopted by the U.S. National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Experimental evidence of contact loss during stick-slip: possible implications for seismic behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative normal displacement (RND) of the stick-slip surface was measured using PMMA and the maximum RND was found to be higher than the average value of the peak-to-trough relief of the surface.

Fracture and Frictional Mechanics: Theory
TL;DR: Fracture mechanics consider conditions for the onset, propagation, and arrest of shear and tensile ruptures, and fracture energy is defined as work required to evolve friction from the maximum static level in the breakdown zone at the rupture front to the minimum dynamic level as mentioned in this paper.

Tempo-spatial rupture process of the 1997 Mani, Xizang (Tibet), China earthquake of M S=7.9
Li-Sheng Xu,Yun-Tai Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the moment tensor of an earthquake was inverted using the long-term body waveform data from China Digital Seismograph Network (CDSN), and the apparent source time functions (ASTFs) were retrieved from P and S waves, respectively, using the deconvolution technique in frequency domain, and the tempo-spatial rupture process on the fault plane was imaged by inverting the azimuth dependent ASTFs from different stations.

Tsunami Wave Analysis and Possibility of Splay Fault Rupture During the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake
N. Dedontney,James R. Rice +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the travel paths of long wavelength waves over the seafloor bathymetry and show that the double peak of the Jason-1 satellite observations are consistent with coseismic rupture of a splay fault of limited along-strike extent, located north of Simeulue Island.

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.
