Forecasting the time of failure of landslides at slope-scale is a difficult yet important task that
can mitigate the effects of slope failures in terms of both human lives and economic losses …

Rock fracture under upper crustal conditions is driven not only by applied stresses, but also
by time-dependent, chemically activated subcritical cracking processes. These subcritical …

To better understand the creep mechanical behavior of salt rock under very long-term tests
and more accurately predict the long-term deformation of the salt caverns, a series of long …

Uniaxial compression tests with combined acousto-optical monitoring techniques are
conducted on flawed granite specimens, with the aim of investigating the fracture-related …

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 …

Disorder and long-range interactions are two of the key components that make material
failure an interesting playfield for the application of statistical mechanics. The cornerstone in …

We evaluate the effect of coseismic stress changes on the fault slip at midcrustal depth,
assuming a velocity‐strengthening brittle creep rheology. We show that this model can help …

The characterization of time‐dependent brittle rock deformation is fundamental to
understanding the long‐term evolution and dynamics of the Earth's crust. The chemical …

Time-dependent cracking and brittle creep of rock is fundamental to understanding the long-
term evolution and dynamic failure in underground rock engineering. In the present paper …

Earthquakes and the faults upon which they occur interact over a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. In addition, many aspects of regional seismicity appear to be stochastic …
