Large seismogenic faults consist of approximately meter-thick fault cores surrounded by
hundreds-of-meters-thick damage zones. Earthquakes are generated by rupture …

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 …

Slip rupture processes on velocity-weakening faults have been found in simulations to occur
by two basic modes, the expanding crack and self-healing modes. In the expanding crack …

We propose a fourth-order staggered-grid finite-difference method to study dynamic faulting
in three dimensions. The method uses an implementation of the boundary conditions on the …

We propose a new source-time function, to be used in kinematic modeling of ground-motion
time histories, which is consistent with dynamic propagation of earthquake ruptures and …

We compared spatiotemporal slip‐rate and high‐frequency (around 1 Hz) radiation
distributions from teleseismic P wave data to infer the seismic rupture process of the 2015 …

We estimate fracture energy on extended faults for several recent earthquakes by retrieving
dynamic traction evolution at each point on the fault plane from slip history imaged by …

We have simulated the rupture process of the 1992 Landers, California, earthquake using a
realistic nonplanar fault geometry, including fault bends and branches, through a three …

The main objective of this study is to develop physics‐based constraints on the
spatiotemporal variation of the slip‐rate function using a simplified dynamic rupture model …

Seismic events induced by the depletion of hydrocarbon reservoirs can cause damage to
housing and cause societal and economic unrest. However, the factors controlling the …
