Fault strength evolution during the seismic cycle: Insights from the laboratory
10 Mar 2023 | Webinars | Contributor(s): John Bedford
Geophysical evidence suggests that some faults are frictionally strong, in agreement with laboratory measurements of quasi-static frictional strength (μ ≈ 0.6-0.8) for many crustal materials; whereas others studies have found that some faults are weak when compared to laboratory friction...

2022 Mainshock and aftershock sequence simulations in a nonplanar fault network
19 May 2022 | Webinars | Contributor(s): So Ozawa, Ryosuke Ando
Aftershocks seem to be located along the trace of the mainshock fault; however, due to the location error, we do not know their exact location relative to the mainshock fault. Here, we hypothesize that most aftershocks occur on small subsidiary faults instead of the mainshock fault, and they...
