Earthquakes occur mainly on active faults. Fault slip is closely related to seismicity and is
thus widely discussed in Geosciences, Seismology, and Engineering. Slip experiment is a …

Large seismogenic faults consist of approximately meter-thick fault cores surrounded by
hundreds-of-meters-thick damage zones. Earthquakes are generated by rupture …

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

Modern geophysics highlights that the slip behaviour response of faults is variable in space
and time and can result in slow or fast ruptures. However, the origin of this variation of the …

To clarify the shear-slip process and characteristics of fault, we conducted triaxial shear tests
driven by displacement on shale samples with prefabricated sawcut and natural fractures …

We conducted fluid injection experiments on cylindrical low‐permeability granite samples
with a critically stressed sawcut fault at local injection rates of 0.2 and 0.8 mL/min and …

Dynamic failure in the laboratory is commonly preceded by many foreshocks which
accompany premonitory aseismic slip. Aseismic slip is also thought to govern earthquake …

The constitutive behavior of faults is central to many interconnected aspects of earthquake
science, from fault dynamics to induced seismicity, to seismic hazards characterization. Yet …

Earthquakes often occur along faults in the presence of hot, pressurized water. Here we
exploit a new experimental device to study friction in gabbro faults with water in vapor, liquid …

Establishing a constitutive law for fault friction is a crucial objective of earthquake science.
However, the complex frictional behavior of natural and synthetic gouges in laboratory …
