Abstract: Numerical simulations were performed to examine the effects of heterogeneity of frictional properties on earthquake cycles. In the model, rate- and state-dependent friction was assumed at a planar fault in an infinite uniform elastic medium.… read more here.

Abstract: Synchronization behavior of large earthquakes (rupture of nearby faults close in time for many cycles) has been reported in many fault systems. The general idea is that the faults in the system hav... read more here.

Abstract: We present a numerical method for the simulation of earthquake cycles on a 1-D fault interface embedded in a 2-D homogeneous, anisotropic elastic solid. The fault is governed by an experimentally motivated friction law known… read more here.
