Plate motion in sheared granular fault system
Ke Gao, Robert A. Guyer, Esteban Rougier +1
Plate motion near the fault gouge layer, and the elastic interplay between the gouge layer and the plate under stick-slip conditions, is key to understanding the dynamics of sheare…
Modeling earthquakes with off-fault damage using the combined finite-discrete element method
Kurama Okubo, Esteban Rougier, Zhou Lei +1
When a dynamic earthquake rupture propagates on a fault in the Earth's crust, the medium around the fault is dynamically damaged due to stress concentrations around the rupture tip…
Signature of transition to supershear rupture speed in coseismic off-fault damage zone
Jorge Jara, Lucile Bruhat, Marion Y. Thomas +8
Most earthquake ruptures propagate at speeds below the shear wave velocity within the crust, but in some rare cases, ruptures reach supershear speeds. The physics underlying the tr…
From Stress Chains to Acoustic Emission
Ke Gao, Robert Guyer, Esteban Rougier +2
A numerical scheme using the combined finite-discrete element methods (FDEM) is employed to study a model of an earthquake system comprising a granular layer embedded in a formatio…
Dynamics, radiation and overall energy budget of earthquake rupture with coseismic off-fault damage
Kurama Okubo, Harsha S. Bhat, Esteban Rougier +5
Earthquake ruptures dynamically activate coseismic off-fault damage around fault cores. Systematic field observation efforts have shown the distribution of off-fault damage around…
Branching of Hydraulic Cracks in Gas or Oil Shale with Closed Natural Fractures: How to Master Permeability
Saeed Rahimi-Agham, Viet-Tuan Chau, Huynjin Lee +7
While the hydraulic fracturing technology, aka fracking (or fraccing, frac), has become highly developed and astonishingly successful, a consistent formulation of the associated fr…
