During an earthquake, slip occurs in a localised shear zone that features a heavily granulated fault core that can be characterised as a shear band. We study the formation of this…

Hydrodynamics of fault gouges from constitutive modelling to the physics of friction
Filippo Masi, Itai Einav
The development of rate- and state-dependent friction laws offered important insights into the key physical mechanisms of the frictional behaviour of fault gouges and their seismic…
