This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

В статье проведен обзор актуальных публикаций, посвященных процессу зарождения
и эволюции процессов скольжения по разломам земной коры. Рассмотрены различные …

A review is presented of the state-of-the-art publications concerning the nucleation and
evolution of fault slip in the Earth's crust. The review covers various aspects of the problem …

Stick–slips are spontaneous, unstable slip events during which a natural or man-made
system transitions from a strong, sticking stage to a weaker, slipping stage. Stick–slips were …

Natural fault zones are complex, spatially heterogeneous systems. Rock deformation
experimental studies simplify the complexity of natural fault zones either as a surface …

The frictional strength and sliding stability of faults are crucial in interpreting earthquake
mechanisms and cycles. Herein, we report friction experiments on basalt fractures, using a …

The rail, as the most important component in railways, needs to be routinely checked to
maintain proper service conditions to prevent catastrophic accidents by any premature …

This paper presents a mortar-based finite element formulation for modelling earthquake
cycles and wear on rough faults governed by rate and state friction. The method allows large …

High‐velocity friction experiments on simulated fault gouges sheared at high normal stress
and to low displacement are particularly relevant to induced seismicity, which is becoming …

Laboratory studies suggest that seismogenic rupture on faults in carbonate terrains can be
explained by a transition from high friction, at low sliding velocities (V), to low friction due to …
