Mechanics of Earthquakes ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely retired in
October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that point …

We examine where aftershocks occur relative to the spatial distribution of the main shock
slip using data from several recent large earthquakes. No universal relation between high …

Faults are rarely completely smooth, with topographic undulations coming from the
distribution of asperities along the fault surface. Understanding the effects of fault surface …

An Introduction to Mining Seismology describes comprehensively the modern methods and
techniques used to monitor and study seismicity and rockbursts in mines. Key case histories …

Earthquakes occur as a result of global plate motion. However, this simple picture is far from
complete. Some plate boundaries glide past each other smoothly, while others are …

Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

Waveform data from a borehole network of broadband seismographic stations have been
used to study microearthquakes along the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas fault (saf) …

A synthesis method is developed for estimating deterministically strong motions during the
mainshock, using the records of small events such as foreshocks and aftershocks which …

We use observations of earthquake source parameters over a wide magnitude range (MW∼
0–7) to place constraints on constitutive fault weakening. The data suggest a scale …

Laboratory simulations of earthquakes show that at high slip rates, faults can weaken
significantly, aiding rupture,,. Various mechanisms, such as thermal pressurization and flash …
