Subduction earthquake cycles controlled by episodic fluid pressure cycling

L Dal Zilio, T Gerya - Lithos, 2022 - Elsevier
In subduction zones, fluids are often invoked to explain slip processes on the megathrust,
from great earthquakes to slow-slip events and tectonic tremors. However, it is unclear how …

[HTML][HTML] Hydro-mechanical earthquake cycles in a poro-visco-elasto-plastic fluid-bearing fault structure

L Dal Zilio, B Hegyi, W Behr, T Gerya - Tectonophysics, 2022 - Elsevier
A major goal in earthquake physics is to derive a constitutive framework for fault slip that
captures the dependence of shear strength on fault rheology, sliding velocity, and pore-fluid …

Subduction earthquake sequences in a non-linear visco-elasto-plastic megathrust

L Dal Zilio, N Lapusta, JP Avouac… - Geophysical Journal …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We present a 2-D thermomechanical computational framework for simulating earthquake
sequences in a non-linear visco-elasto-plastic compressible medium. The method is …

[PDF][PDF] Numerical study of earthquake generation processes on nonplanar faults

S Ozawa - 2021 - repository.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp
Recent advance in imaging subsurface faults revealed their extremely complex geometries,
which may affect and even control the occurrence of earthquakes. In this thesis, I develop a …
