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 …

Off‐fault tensile cracks: A link between geological fault observations, lab experiments, and dynamic rupture models

D Ngo, Y Huang, A Rosakis, WA Griffith… - … Research: Solid Earth, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We examine the local nature of the dynamic stress field in the vicinity of the tip of a semi‐
infinite sub‐Rayleigh (slower than the Rayleigh wave speed, cR) mode II crack with a …

On the transient behavior of frictional melt during seismic slip

S Nielsen, P Mosca, G Giberti, G Di Toro… - Journal of …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
In a recent work on the problem of sliding surfaces under the presence of frictional melt
(applying in particular to earthquake fault dynamics), we derived from first principles an …

Thermal weakening friction during seismic slip: experiments and models with heat sources and sinks

S Nielsen, E Spagnuolo, M Violay… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Experiments that systematically explore rock friction under crustal earthquake conditions
reveal that faults undergo abrupt dynamic weakening. Processes related to heating and …

Earthquake dynamics constrained from laboratory experiments: new insights from granular materials

A Bizzarri, A Petri, A Baldassarri - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.10595, 2024 - arxiv.org
The traction evolution is a fundamental ingredient to model the dynamics of an earthquake
rupture which ultimately controls, during the coseismic phase, the energy release, the stress …
