Aqueous fluids are thought to have an essential role in faulting and the dynamic propagation
of earthquake rupture. Fluid overpressure can affect earthquake nucleation, and in a …

岩石摩擦实验是断层力学和震源物理实验研究中主要的手段之一. 传统低速率的岩石摩擦实验与
以之为基础建立的速率状态变量摩擦本构关系理论体系, 对于认识断层摩擦滑动稳定性和地震成 …

We determined the internal structure and mineral composition of the Yingxiu‐Beichuan fault
zone at the Zhaojiagou exposure and measured frictional and transport properties of the …

An ancient subduction thrust, developed at the top of oceanic basaltic crust, is exposed in
the Shimanto accretionary complex of eastern Shikoku, southwest Japan. The fault zone …

We carried out magnetic mineral analyses of samples from the shallowest major fault zone
within the Chelungpu fault system, which is the zone that previous researchers believe …

Estimation of the dynamic shear stress on a fault during an earthquake is important for
understanding the earthquake itself. Using a chemical kinetic approach, we examined the …

Laboratory and numerical studies, as well as field observations, indicate that phase
transitions of pore water might be an important process in large earthquakes. We present a …

Rock magnetic measurements were conducted on fault rocks from the Zhaojiagou outcrop at
Leigu Town, Beichuan County, Sichuan Province (China), located on the Yingxiu–Beichuan …

During an earthquake, physical and chemical transformations lead to alteration and
formation of minerals in the gouge layer. Altered and neoformed minerals can be used as …

Transient frictional heating during earthquake slip induces dehydroxylation of phyllosilicate
minerals. As this reaction is endothermic and releases H 2 O, it affects dynamic fault …
