Accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides have been found to
display a finite time singularity of the velocity v∼ 1/(tc− t)[Voight, 1988a, 1988b]. Here we …

In a previous work (J. Geophys. Res.(2004)), we have proposed a simple physical model to
explain the accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides, based on a …

This paper investigates landslide as a consequence of the unstable slide of an initially
stationary or creeping slope triggered by a small perturbation, such as the effect due to …

Catastrophic landslides cause billions of dollars in damages and claim thousands of lives
annually, whereas slow-moving landslides with negligible inertia dominate sediment …

Sequences of dynamic instabilities are analyzed for a single degree of freedom elastic
system which slides along a surface having frictional resistance depending on slip rate and …

The cause of the apparent small friction exhibited by long runout landslides has long been
speculated upon. In an attempt to provide some insight into the matter, this paper describes …

We performed seismic waveform inversions and numerical landslide simulations of deep-
seated landslides in Japan to understand the dynamic evolution of friction of the landslides …

Tsaoling landslide is the largest and best documented landslide among several large
landslides induced by the 1999 Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake. Pliocene sedimentary rocks of …

Deep‐seated landslides can have catastrophic impacts on human life and infrastructure
when they suddenly fail. These events are devastating because of the large volumes of soil …

We performed numerical simulations of the 2011 deep-seated Akatani landslide in central
Japan to understand the dynamic evolution of friction of the landslide. By comparing the …
