Linear and nonlinear stability of rate-and-state faults
Robert C. Viesca, Dmitry I. Garagash
Models of faults incorporating slip rate- and state-dependent friction have reproduced phenomena from spontaneous slow, aseismic slip to earthquake-generating dynamic rupture. Nume…
Non-linear stability analysis of slip in a single-degree-of-freedom elastic system with frictional evolution laws spanning aging to slip
Federico Ciardo, Robert C. Viesca
We present a non-linear stability analysis of quasi-static slip in a spring-block model. The sliding interface is governed by rate- and state-dependent friction, with an intermedia…
Asymptotic solutions for self-similarly expanding fault slip induced by fluid injection at constant rate
Robert C. Viesca
We examine the circular, self-similar expansion of frictional rupture due to fluid injected at a constant rate. Fluid migrates within a thin permeable layer parallel to and contain…
Self-similar fault slip in response to fluid injection
Robert C. Viesca
There is scientific and industrial interest in understanding how geologic faults respond to transient sources of fluid. Natural and artificial sources can elevate pore fluid pressu…
Frictional state evolution laws and the non-linear nucleation of dynamic shear rupture
Robert C. Viesca
We assess if a characteristic length for a non-linear interfacial slip instability follows from theoretical descriptions of sliding friction. We examine friction laws and their cou…
The slow slip of viscous faults
Robert C. Viesca, Pierre Dublanchet
We examine a simple mechanism for the spatio-temporal evolution of transient, slow slip. We consider the problem of slip on a fault that lies within an elastic continuum and whose…
