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…
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…
Simulation of crack induced nonlinear elasticity using the combined finite-discrete element method
Ke Gao, Esteban Rougier, Robert Guyer +2
Numerical simulation of nonlinear elastic wave propagation in solids with cracks is indispensable for decoding the complicated mechanisms associated with the nonlinear ultrasonic t…
Modeling of Stick-Slip Behavior in Sheared Granular Fault Gouge Using the Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method
Ke Gao, Bryan J. Euser, Esteban Rougier +5
Sheared granular layers undergoing stick slip behavior are broadly employed to study the physics and dynamics of earthquakes. Here, a two dimensional implementation of the combined…
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…
