Featured Application This article describes various applications of in situ acoustic emission
(AE) monitoring in the context of structural health monitoring (SHM) in mines and extensively …

Surface roughness ubiquitously prevails in natural faults across various length scales.
Despite extensive studies highlighting the important role of fault geometry in the dynamics of …

Earthquake forecasting and prediction have long and in some cases sordid histories but
recent work has rekindled interest based on advances in early warning, hazard assessment …

Dynamic failure in the laboratory is commonly preceded by many foreshocks which
accompany premonitory aseismic slip. Aseismic slip is also thought to govern earthquake …

Natural earthquakes often have very few observable foreshocks which significantly
complicates tracking potential preparatory processes. To better characterize expected …

Estimating the expected size of the largest earthquake on a given fault is complicated by
dynamic rupture interactions in addition to geometric and stress heterogeneity. However, a …

Monitoring on the damage evolution process of the coal and rock mass in coal resource
mining play a vital role in safe production and avoiding economic losses. This study aims at …

Probing source mechanisms of natural and induced earthquakes is a powerful tool to unveil
associated rupture kinematics. The source processes of failure and slip instability driven by …

We investigate the evolution of the frequency-magnitude b-value during stable and unstable
frictional sliding experiments. Using a biaxial shear configuration, we record broadband …

We discuss data of three laboratory stick‐slip experiments on Westerly Granite samples
performed at elevated confining pressure and constant displacement rate on rough fracture …
