Induced seismicity associated with fluid injection into underground formations jeopardizes
the sustainable utilization of the subsurface. Understanding the fault behavior is the key to …

Fractures generated by internal fluid pressure, for example, dykes, mineral veins, many
joints and man-made hydraulic fractures, are referred to as hydrofractures. Together with …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Slip on unfavourably oriented faults with respect to a remotely applied stress is well
documented and implies that faults such as the San Andreas fault and low-angle normal …

Abstract The 1992 magnitude 7.3 Landers earthquake triggered an exceptional number of
additional earthquakes within California and as far north as Yellowstone and Montana …

We present a new, high spatial resolution image of stress orientation in southern California
based on the inversion of earthquake focal mechanisms. We use this image to study the …

Finite element simulations of coupled solid-deformation/fluid-diffusion occurring in
earthquake fault zones often require high-fidelity descriptions of the spatial and temporal …

On the basis of elastodynamic stress fields for singular crack and nonsingular slip‐
weakening models of propagating rupture, we develop preliminary answers to such …

We estimate source parameters from spectra of 42367 earthquakes between 1984 and 2005
that occurred in the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas Fault in central California. We use …

We consider a mode II rupture which propagates along a planar main fault and encounters
an intersection with a branching fault. Using an elastodynamic boundary integral equation …
