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 …

Fault-zone fluids control effective normal stress and fault strength. While most earthquake
models assume a fixed pore fluid pressure distribution, geologists have documented fault …

近年来, 卫星大地测量技术的快速发展为精确测量地壳形变和断层行为提供了前所未有的多维
观测数据. 它与地震学的结合使得地震周期形变监测的时空分辨率大大提升 …

Natural faults feature heterogeneities in geometry, material properties, and stress
distributions, posing great challenges in predicting fault slip behaviors. Among these factors …

To first order, faults are locked while stress builds up to a devastating earthquake. However,
we know that faults also slip slowly. After decades of geophysical observation, slow slip is …

We study the mechanical response of two‐dimensional vertical strike‐slip fault to coseismic
damage evolution and interseismic healing of fault damage zones by simulating fully …

Interseismic locking models derived from geodetic data describe slip deficit accumulation on
faults, hence indicating the likelihood of future earthquakes. In recent years, locking models …

Interseismic coupling maps and, especially, estimates of the location of the fully coupled
(locked) zone relative to the trench, coastline, and slow slip events are crucial for …

We present a 2-D thermomechanical computational framework for simulating earthquake
sequences in a non-linear visco-elasto-plastic compressible medium. The method is …

Given recent advances in geodetic data, interseismic locking models along the megathrust
now become useful to qualitatively evaluate future earthquake potential. However, an …
