We investigate the propagation of fluid-driven fault slip on a slip-weakening frictional
interface separating two identical half-spaces of a three-dimensional elastic solid. Our focus …

Whether or not energy dissipation is localized in the vicinity of the rupture tip, and whether
any distal energy dissipation far from the crack tip has a significant influence on rupture …

We investigate the interaction between two rupture fronts as they propagate toward each
other and ultimately collide. This phenomenon was observed during laboratory experiments …

Fault reactivations induced by deep excavation can pose significant challenges to
underground construction or resource extraction. Laboratory experiments on rock faults …

During the long-term operational lifespan of nuclear waste repositories in crystalline rock
formations, large earthquakes along nearby seismogenic fault zones may occur …

In the Rhône Valley near the city of Montélimar, a Mw 4.9 surface-rupturing earthquake
occurring on the 11th of November 2019 was linked to the reactivation of the NE–SW …

Fluid-driven frictional ruptures are important in a broad range of subsurface engineering
technologies and natural earthquake-related phenomena. Some examples of subsurface …

Earthquake rates are known to fluctuate with time according to the changing state of stress in
the Earth's crust. Studying the response of earthquakes to transient stresses provides a …
