From geodetic imaging of seismic and aseismic fault slip to dynamic modeling of the seismic cycle

JP Avouac - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

On the deterministic description of earthquakes

A Bizzarri - Reviews of Geophysics, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
The quantitative estimate of earthquake damage due to ground shaking is of pivotal
importance in geosciences, and its knowledge should hopefully lead to the formulation of …

Dynamic shear rupture interactions with fault bends and off‐axis secondary faulting

ANB Poliakov, R Dmowska… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
On the basis of elastodynamic stress fields for singular crack and nonsingular slip‐
weakening models of propagating rupture, we develop preliminary answers to such …

Effects of prestress state and rupture velocity on dynamic fault branching

N Kame, JR Rice, R Dmowska - Journal of Geophysical …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Relation between continental strike‐slip earthquake segmentation and thickness of the crust

Y Klinger - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
High‐resolution maps of large continental strike‐slip earthquake surface ruptures show that
they are formed of fault segments. These segments are bounded by fault bends, step overs …

Understanding dynamic friction through spontaneously evolving laboratory earthquakes

V Rubino, AJ Rosakis, N Lapusta - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
Friction plays a key role in how ruptures unzip faults in the Earth's crust and release waves
that cause destructive shaking. Yet dynamic friction evolution is one of the biggest …

Three‐dimensional nonplanar simulation of the 1992 Landers earthquake

H Aochi, E Fukuyama - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
We have simulated the rupture process of the 1992 Landers, California, earthquake using a
realistic nonplanar fault geometry, including fault bends and branches, through a three …

Three-dimensional curved grid finite-difference modelling for non-planar rupture dynamics

Z Zhang, W Zhang, X Chen - Geophysical Journal International, 2014 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Rupture phase diagrams for a planar fault in 3-D full-space and half-space

J Xu, H Zhang, X Chen - Geophysical Journal International, 2015 - academic.oup.com
In this study, we have systematically investigated the influence of the parameters of the slip-
weakening law and the size of nucleation asperity on dynamic rupture of a planar fault in full …

Tectonic and seismic implications of an intersegment rupture: The damaging May 11th 2011 Mw 5.2 Lorca, Spain, earthquake

JJ Martínez-Díaz, M Bejar-Pizarro, JA Álvarez-Gómez… - Tectonophysics, 2012 - Elsevier
On May 11th 2011, a Mw 5.2 earthquake stroke the city of Lorca in the SE Spain. This event
caused 9 fatalities, 300 injuries and serious damage on the city and the surrounding areas …
