Quantifying the Role of 3D Fault Geometry Complexities on Slow and Fast Earthquakes
J. Cheng, H. S. Bhat, M. Almakari +2
Traditional models of slow slip events (SSEs) oversimplify fault geometry, although imaging shows subduction faults are segmented and complex. We examine how fault interactions con…
Fault volume digital twin to reproduce the full slip spectrum, scaling and statistical laws
M. Almakari, N. Kheirdast, C. Villafuerte +7
Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors.…
A rate-and-state friction based criterion for the probability of earthquake fault jumps
Sylvain Michel, Oona Scotti, Sebastien Hok +5
Geometrical complexities in natural fault zones, such as steps and gaps, pose a challenge in seismic hazard studies as they can act as obstacles to seismic ruptures. In this study,…
FASTDASH: An Implementation of 3D Earthquake Cycle Simulation on Complex Fault Systems Using the Boundary Element Method Accelerated by H-matrices
Jinhui Cheng, Harsha S. Bhat, Michelle Almakari +2
Fault systems have geometrically complex structures in nature, such as stepovers, bends, branches, and roughness. Many geological and geophysical studies have shown that the geomet…
