A phase-field model for quasi-dynamic nucleation, growth, and propagation of rate-and-state faults
Fan Fei, Md Shumon Mia, Ahmed E. Elbanna +1
Despite its critical role in the study of earthquake processes, numerical simulation of the entire stages of fault rupture remains a formidable task. The main challenges in simulat…
Supershear shock front contribution to the tsunami from the 2018 7.5 Palu, Indonesia earthquake
Faisal Amlani, Harsha S. Bhat, Wim J. F. Simons +7
Hazardous tsunamis are known to be generated predominantly at subduction zones. However, the 2018 Mw 7.5 Sulawesi (Indonesia) earthquake on a strike-slip fault generated a tsunami…
A new hybrid numerical scheme for modeling elastodynamics in unbounded media with near-source heterogeneities
Setare Hajaroalsvadi, Ahmed Elbanna
The Finite Difference (FD) and the Spectral Boundary Integral (SBI) methods have been used extensively to model spontaneously propagating shear cracks in a variety of engineering a…
A Model for Athermal Strain Localization in Dry Sheared Fault Gouge
Xiao Ma, Ahmed Elbanna
Shear banding is widely observed in natural fault zones as well as in gouge layers in laboratory experiments. Understanding the dynamics of strain localization under different load…
Localization and instability in sheared granular materials: Role of friction and vibration
Konik R. Kothari, Ahmed Elbanna
Shear banding and stick-slip instabilities have been long observed in sheared granular materials. Yet, their microscopic underpinnings, interdependencies and variability under diff…
