Self-organized first-order transition from foreshock to mainshock in earthquake sequences induced by heat, fluid pressure, and porosity

Takehito Suzuki, Hiroshi Matsukawa

Earthquake cycles are studied by taking into account the interactions among slip, fluid pressure, temperature, and porosity on the fault planes, which are known to play a crucial r…

Static Friction Coefficient Depends on the External Pressure and Block Shape due to Precursor Slip

Wataru Iwashita, Hiroshi Matsukawa, Michio Otsuki

Amontons' law states that the maximum static friction force on a solid object is proportional to the loading force and is independent of the apparent contact area. This law indicat…

Transition between Macroscopic Steady Slippage and Creep Motion in a System with Velocity-Dependent Friction Stress

Takehito Suzuki, Hiroshi Matsukawa

We investigate the propagation of a slip front in a visco-elastic body on a rigid substrate. The body is one-dimensional, and the loading stress is applied at one end. By employing…

Propagation velocity of slip front and emergence of macroscopic static friction in the system with vanishing local static friction

Takehito Suzuki, Hiroshi Matsukawa

We investigate the propagation of the slip front in the elastic body on the rigid substrate. We first obtain the slip profile and the slip front velocity of the steady state by emp…

Novel Friction Law for the Static Friction Force based on Local Precursor Slipping

Yu Katano, Ken Nakano, Michio Otsuki +1

The sliding of a solid object on a solid substrate requires a shear force that is larger than the maximum static friction force. It is commonly believed that the maximum static fri…

Systematic Breakdown of Amontons' Law of Friction for an Elastic Object Locally Obeying Amontons' Law

Michio Otsuki, Hiroshi Matsukawa

In many sliding systems consisting of solid object on a solid substrate under dry condition, the friction force does not depend on the apparent contact area and is proportional to…
