Micromechanics of high pressure compaction in granular quartz aggregates
Suzanne J. T. Hangx, Nicolas Brantut
The mechanical behaviour of porous sandstones is generally modelled using concepts from granular mechanics, often overlooking the effect of cementation. To probe the key difference…
Insight into the microphysics of antigorite deformation from spherical nanoindentation
Lars N. Hansen, Emmanuel C. David, Nicolas Brantut +1
The mechanical behavior of antigorite strongly influences the strength and deformation of the subduction interface. Although there is microstructural evidence elucidating the natur…
Stability of pulse-like earthquake ruptures
Nicolas Brantut, Dmitry I. Garagash, Hiroyuki Noda
Pulse-like ruptures arise spontaneously in many elastodynamic rupture simulations and seem to be the dominant rupture mode along crustal faults. Pulse-like ruptures propagating und…
Dilatancy-induced fluid pressure drop during dynamic rupture: Direct experimental evidence and consequences for earthquake dynamics
Nicolas Brantut
Fluid pressure and flow in the crust is a key parameter controlling earthquake physics. Since earthquake slip is linked to spatio-temporal localisation of deformation, it is expect…
