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 …
Earthquake swarms attributed to subsurface fluid injection are usually assumed to occur on faults destabilized by increased pore-fluid pressures. However, fluid injection could also …
This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …
Electromechanical actuators based on sheets of single-walled carbon nanotubes were shown to generate higher stresses than natural muscle and higher strains than high …
This monograph deals with the part of the field of experimental rock deformation that is dominated by the phenomena of brittle fracture on one scale or another. Thus a distinction …

A simple, yet effective, analytical model is proposed for the representation of near-field strong ground motions. The model adequately describes the impulsive character of near …
Solving efficiently the wave equations involved in modeling acoustic, elastic or electromagnetic wave propagation remains a challenge both for research and industry. To …
We present a dynamic rupture model of the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake to unravel the event's riddles in a physics-based manner and provide insight on the mechanical viability of …
