We present a review of the recent development in finite-difference time-domain modeling of
seismic wave propagation and earthquake motion. The finite-difference method is a robust …

The invitation by Vladimır Buzek to write a text that would present a topic of our research was
for us a strong motivating challenge and nice opportunity at the same time: we could and we …

An important goal of computational seismology is to simulate dynamic earthquake rupture
and strong ground motion in realistic models that include crustal heterogeneities and …

The underestimation of the size of recent megathrust earthquakes illustrates our limited
understanding of their spatiotemporal occurrence and governing physics. To unravel their …

In this study, we present a new method for simulating the 3-D dynamic rupture process
occurring on a non-planar fault. The method is based on the curved-grid finite-difference …

We adapt the traction‐at‐split‐node method for spontaneous rupture simulations to the
velocity‐stress staggered‐grid finite difference scheme. The staggered‐grid implementation …

Using a hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallel finite element method for spontaneous rupture and
seismic wave propagation simulations, we investigate features in rupture propagation, slip …

Dynamic earthquake source inversions aim to determine the spatial distribution of initial
stress and friction parameters leading to dynamic rupture models that reproduce observed …

We present a 2‐D numerical modeling approach for simulating a wide slip spectrum in a
viscoelastoplastic continuum. The key new model component is an invariant reformulation of …

Earthquake ruptures in poroelastic media involve a suite of complex phenomena arising
from stick‐slip frictional instabilities and thermo‐hydromechanical couplings. In this study we …
