Long paleoseismic records on mature faults suggest potentially chaotic recurrence patterns
with cycles of strain accumulation and release that challenge simple slip-or time-predictable …

Brake squeal has become an increasing concern to the automotive industry because of
warranty costs and the requirement for continued interior vehicle noise reduction. Most …

Десять лет назад авторы настоящей монографии выпустили книгу «Техногенные
процессы в земной коре (опасности и катастрофы)». За прошедшие десять лет …

Earthquake recurrence histories may provide clues to the timing of future events, but long
intervals between large events obscure full recurrence variability. In contrast, small …

High‐resolution computer simulations of earthquake sequences in three or even two
dimensions pose great demands on time and energy, making lower‐cost simplifications a …

We investigate the emergent dynamics when the slip law formulation of the non-linear rate-
and-state friction law is attached to a Burridge–Knopoff spring-block model. We derive both …

Structural vibration controlled by interfacial friction is widespread, ranging from friction
dampers in gas turbines to the motion of violin strings. To predict, control or prevent such …

A physics-based earthquake simulator should reproduce first-order empirical power-law
behaviors of magnitudes and clustering. These laws have emerged spontaneously in either …

Frictional instability is the most likely mechanism of shallow earthquakes. For better
understanding fault behavior we have conducted field experiments on shear deformation of …

In this paper, we present a way of extending the blowup method, in the formulation of Krupa
and Szmolyan, to flat slow manifolds that lose hyperbolicity beyond any algebraic order …
