The mechanics of stick-slip☆
TLDR
In this article, an instability caused by sudden brittle fracture of locked regions on surfaces in contact is the most likely explanation for stick-slip during dry frictional sliding of brittle rocks at room temperature.About:

The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting
TL;DR: The connection between faults and the seismicity generated is governed by the rate and state dependent friction laws -producing distinctive seismic styles of faulting and a gamut of earthquake phenomena including aftershocks, afterslip, earthquake triggering, and slow slip events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slip instability and state variable friction laws
TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the friction force on slip history is described by an experimentally motivated constitutive law where the friction forces are dependent on slip rate and state variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-dependent friction and the mechanics of stick-slip
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of friction is proposed that establishes a common basis for static and sliding friction, and experimental observations establish the transition from stable sliding to stick-slip to be a function of normal stress, stiffness and surface finish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slip motion and stability of a single degree of freedom elastic system with rate and state dependent friction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a single degree of freedom elastic system undergoing frictional slip, where the system is represented by a block (slider) slipping at speed V and connected by a spring of stiffness k to a point at which motion is enforced at speedV 0.

Source parameters of southern California earthquakes
Wayne Thatcher,Thomas C. Hanks +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical relation between magnitude-moment relation and source parameters was developed by using Brune's source model and the displacement response of the Wood-Anderson seismograph, and the result was used to construct the following relations: log M0 = 2.2 − log Δσ, where Δσ is in bars, and log 2r = ⅔ ML + 2.9 − Δσ.

The friction and lubrication of solids
Frank Philip Bowden,David Tabor +1 more
TL;DR: Tabor and Bowden as mentioned in this paper reviewed the many advances made in this field during the past 36 years and outlined the achievements of Frank Philip Bowden, and reviewed the behavior of non-metals, especially elastomers; elastohydrodynamic lubrication; and the wear of sliding surfaces.

Seismology and the new global tectonics
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive study of the observations of seismology provides widely based strong support for the new global tectonics which is founded on the hypotheses of continental drift, sea-floor spreading, transform faults and underthrusting of the lithosphere at island arcs.

Stick-slip as a mechanism for earthquakes.
W. F. Brace,James D. Byerlee +1 more
TL;DR: Stick-slip often accompanies frictional sliding in laboratory experi ments with geologic materials and may represent stick slip during sliding along old or newly formed faults in the earth.

Experimental deformation of serpentinite and its tectonic implications
C. B. Raleigh,M. S. Paterson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the strength and ductility of serpentinite at temperatures to 700°C and confining pressures to 5 kb has yielded results important to the understanding of the role of the serpentinite in orogenesis.
