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…
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…
Earthquake damage patterns resolve complex rupture processes
Yann Klinger, Kurama Okubo, Amaury Vallage +9
Large continental earthquakes activate multiple faults in a complex fault system, dynamically inducing co-seismic damage around them. The 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake in the nor…
