Subduction earthquake cycles controlled by episodic fluid pressure cycling
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
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
We present a 2-D thermomechanical computational framework for simulating earthquake
sequences in a non-linear visco-elasto-plastic compressible medium. The method is …
