The role of gouge production in the seismic behavior of rough faults: A numerical study
Miguel Castellano, Enrico Milanese, Camilla Cattania +1
Fault zones mature through the accumulation of earthquakes and the wearing of contact asperities at multiple scales. This study examines how wear-induced gouge production affects t…
Energy dissipation in earthquakes
David S. Kammer, Gregory C. McLaskey, Rachel E. Abercrombie +10
Earthquakes are rupture-like processes that propagate along tectonic faults and cause seismic waves. The propagation speed and final area of the rupture, which determine an earthqu…
Earthquake Breakdown Energy Scaling Despite Constant Fracture Energy
Chun-Yu Ke, Gregory C. McLaskey, David S. Kammer
In the quest to determine fault weakening processes that govern earthquake mechanics, it is common to infer the earthquake breakdown energy from seismological measurements. Breakdo…
Dynamic fields at the tip of sub-Rayleigh and supershear frictional rupture fronts
Ilya Svetlizky, Gabriele Albertini, Gil Cohen +2
The onset of frictional motion at the interface between two distinct bodies in contact is characterized by the propagation of dynamic rupture fronts. We combine friction experiment…
The existence of a critical length scale in regularised friction
David S. Kammer, Vladislav A. Yastrebov, Guillaume Anciaux +1
We study a regularisation of Coulomb's friction law on the propagation of local slip at an interface between a deformable and a rigid solid. This regularisation, which was proposed…
