Preslip and cascade processes initiating laboratory stick slip
Recent modeling studies have explored whether earthquakes begin with a large aseismic nucleation process or initiate dynamically from the rapid growth of a smaller instability in a “cascade-up” process. To explore such a case in the laboratory, we study the initiation of dynamic rupture (stick slip) of a smooth saw-cut fault in a 76mm diameter cylindrical granite laboratory sample at 40–120MPa ...
متن کاملForeshocks during the nucleation of stick-slip instability
[1] We report on laboratory experiments which investigate interactions between aseismic slip, stress changes, and seismicity on a critically stressed fault during the nucleation of stick-slip instability. We monitor quasi-static and dynamic changes in local shear stress and fault slip with arrays of gages deployed along a simulated strike-slip fault (2m long and 0.4m deep) in a saw cut sample o...
متن کاملMicromechanics of asperity rupture during laboratory stick slip experiments
[1] Acoustic emissions and tremor‐like signals are widely recorded in laboratory experiments. We are able to isolate the physical origins of these signals using high resolution nanoseismic analysis. The use of a picometer‐sensitive, wide‐band sensor array permits us to determine force‐time functions and focal mechanisms for discrete events found amid the “noise” of friction, similar to how low ...
متن کاملStick-slip instability for viscous fingering in a gel
– The growth dynamics of an air finger injected in a visco-elastic gel (a PVA/borax aqueous solution) is studied in a linear Hele-Shaw cell. Besides the standard Saffmann-Taylor instability, we observe with increasing finger velocities the existence of two new regimes: (a) a stick-slip regime for which the finger tip velocity oscillates between 2 different values, producing local pinching of th...
متن کاملHow to distinguish between stick-slip and pure slip oscillations
Numerical simulations are performed for the stick-slip motion in the BurridgeKnopoff model of one block. Calculated amplitude increases with the driving velocity. We argue that this effect can be a criterion to distinguish between the stick-slip and pure slip oscillations. PACS : 62.20.Qp, 05.45.-a, 02.60.-x
