Large Earthquake Triggering, Clustering, and the Synchronization of Faults
Large earthquakes are sometimes observed to trigger other large earthquakes on nearby faults. The magnitudes of the calculated Coulomb stress transfers presumed to cause the triggering are 10 –10 3 of the earthquake stress drops. The earthquake stress drops and the triggering delay times are similarly small with respect to the natural recurrence time of the earthquakes. This requires that both ...
متن کاملThree‐dimensional earthquake sequence simulations with evolving temperature and pore pressure due to shear heating: Effect of heterogeneous hydraulic diffusivity
[1] A new methodology for three‐dimensional (3‐D) simulations of earthquake sequences is presented that accounts not only for inertial effects during seismic events but also for shear‐induced temperature variations on the fault and the associated evolution of pore fluid pressure. In particular, the methodology allows to capture thermal pressurization (TP) due to frictional heating in a shear zo...
متن کاملEarthquake Ruptures on Rough Faults
Natural fault surfaces exhibit roughness at all scales, with root-mean-square height fluctuations of order 10−3 to 10−2 times the profile length. We study earthquake rupture propagation on such faults, using strongly rate-weakening fault friction and offfault plasticity. Inelastic deformation bounds stresses to reasonable values and prevents fault opening. Stress perturbations induced by slip o...
متن کاملSelf-organized criticality and deterministic chaos in a continuous spring–block model of earthquake faults
Starting off from the relationship between time-dependent friction and velocity softening, the paper presents a generalization of the continuous version of the one-dimensional homogeneous, deterministic Burridge–Knopoff (BK) model by allowing for displacements by plastic creep and rigid sliding. The evolution equations describe the coupled dynamics of an order parameterlike field variable (the ...
متن کاملon semihypergroups and hypergroups
in this thesis, first the notion of weak mutual associativity (w.m.a.) and the necessary and sufficient condition for a $(l,gamma)$-associated hypersemigroup $(h, ast)$ derived from some family of $lesssim$-preordered semigroups to be a hypergroup, are given. second, by proving the fact that the concrete categories, semihypergroups and hypergroups have not free objects we will introduce t...
