On the scale dependence in the dynamics of frictional rupture: constant fracture energy versus size-dependent breakdown work
Federica Paglialunga, François Passelègue, Nicolas Brantut +3
Potential energy stored during the inter-seismic period by tectonic loading around faults is released during earthquakes as radiated energy, heat and fracture energy. The latter is…

Dilatancy toughening of shear cracks and implications for slow rupture propagation
Nicolas Brantut
Dilatancy associated with fault slip produces a transient pore pressure drop which increases frictional strength. This effect is analysed in a steadily propagating rupture model th…

Dilatancy stabilises shear failure in rock
Franciscus M. Aben, Nicolas Brantut
Failure and fault slip in crystalline rocks is associated with dilation. When pore fluids are present and drainage is insufficient, dilation leads to pore pressure drops, which in…
