Integrated rupture mechanics for slow slip events and earthquakes

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Huihui Weng from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Integrated rupture mechanics for slow slip events and earthquakes, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show that the rupture propagation of simulated slow and fast earthquakes can be predicted by a newly-developed three-dimensional theory of dynamic fracture mechanics accounting for finite rupture width, an essential ingredient missing in previous theories. This model provides a new framework to explain how slow slip might lead to earthquakes and opens new avenues for seismic hazard assessment integrating seismological, laboratory and theoretical developments. The authors show . . .
