Signature of transition to supershear rupture speed in coseismic off-fault damage zone
Jorge Jara, Lucile Bruhat, Marion Y. Thomas +8
Most earthquake ruptures propagate at speeds below the shear wave velocity within the crust, but in some rare cases, ruptures reach supershear speeds. The physics underlying the tr…
Positive Feedback, Memory and the Predictability of Earthquakes
S. G. Sammis, D. Sornette
We review the "critical point" concept for large earthquakes and enlarge it in the framework of so-called "finite-time singularities". The singular behavior associated with acceler…
An Observational Test of the Critical Earthquake Concept
D. D. Bowman, G. Ouillon, C. G. Sammis +2
We test the concept that seismicity prior to a large earthquake can be understood in terms of the statistical physics of a critical phase transition. In this model, the cumulative…
Precursors, aftershocks, criticality and self-organized criticality
Y. Huang, H. Saleur, C. G. Sammis +1
We present a simple model of earthquakes on a pre-existing hierarchical fault network. The system self-organizes on long time scales in a stationary state with a power law Gutenber…
