The determination of rock friction at seismic slip rates (about 1 ms− 1) is of paramount
importance in earthquake mechanics, as fault friction controls the stress drop, the …

It is increasingly apparent that faults are typically not discrete planes but zones of deformed
rock with a complex internal structure and three-dimensional geometry. In the last decade …

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

Scientific drilling in active faults after a large earthquake is ideal to study earthquake
mechanisms. The Wenchuan earthquake Fault Scientific Drilling project (WFSD) is an …

В монографии приведены результаты многолетних исследований закономерностей
деформирования нарушений сплошности массивов горных пород. На основе …

Frictional properties of natural kaolinite‐bearing gouge samples from the Median Tectonic
Line (SW Japan) have been studied using a high‐velocity rotary shear apparatus, and …

Temperature and fluid pressure conditions control rock deformation and mineralization on
geological faults, and hence the distribution of earthquakes. Typical intraplate continental …

Abstract The> 2000-km-long Indus–Tsangpo suture zone (ITSZ) in southern Tibet contains
remnants of Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere, ophiolitic mélanges, flysch units and …

Earthquakes are the result of a combination of (1) physico-chemical processes operating in
fault zones, which allow ruptures to nucleate and rock friction to decrease with increasing …

We have investigated the grain size distribution (GSD) of granitoid fault rock by comparing
experimentally produced gouge with fault rock from the Nojima Fault Zone. Triaxial …
