Earthquakes can change the stress field in the Earth's lithosphere as they relieve and
redistribute stress. Earthquake‐induced stress changes have been observed as temporal …

Earthquakes are the result of a combination of (1) physico-chemical processes operating in
fault zones, which allow ruptures to nucleate and rock friction to decrease with increasing …

Earthquake swarms attributed to subsurface fluid injection are usually assumed to occur on
faults destabilized by increased pore-fluid pressures. However, fluid injection could also …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Electromechanical actuators based on sheets of single-walled carbon nanotubes were
shown to generate higher stresses than natural muscle and higher strains than high …

This monograph deals with the part of the field of experimental rock deformation that is
dominated by the phenomena of brittle fracture on one scale or another. Thus a distinction …

A simple, yet effective, analytical model is proposed for the representation of near-field
strong ground motions. The model adequately describes the impulsive character of near …

Solving efficiently the wave equations involved in modeling acoustic, elastic or
electromagnetic wave propagation remains a challenge both for research and industry. To …

Among all the numerical methods in seismology, the finite-difference (FD) technique
provides the best balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. This book offers a …

We present a dynamic rupture model of the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake to unravel the
event's riddles in a physics-based manner and provide insight on the mechanical viability of …
